The Department's budget request for Atomic Energy Defense Activities is $9.0 billion in FY 1990 and $9.4 billion in FY 1991. The FY 1990 request provides a reasonable distribution of funds for both the production of nuclear weapons and materials in response to Department of Defense requirements for stockpile improvements consistent with national security needs and activities to bring our facilities into compliance with applicable regulations. Increasingly restrictive requirements in environment, safety, and health may arise, however, making funding real locations necessary. This could require reprogramming funds from lower priority activities. The budget request maintains the ongoing research and development efforts of the Naval Reactors Development program and continues efforts to provide new production reactor capacity to replace the existing aging production reactors and assure a reliable tritium supply to meet the long-term requirements for the nuclear weapons stockpile. - With regard to FY 1991, this budget reflects an allocation of an overall three percent increase for Defense Programs. 3 A brief summary of each program under Atomic Energy Defense Activities follows: Weapons Research, Development and Testing - The Weapons Research, Development and Testing program Objectives include designing, testing, and certifying new weapons; advancing the state-of-the-art weapons technology; and monitoring the nuclear weapons stockpile to assure continued reliability and effectiveness. The funding will continue in support for the research on nuclear directed energy weapons for the Strategic Defense Initiative and for research on the Inertial Fusion program. It will also provide the base capabilities of the Department's core nuclear weapons research, development and testing complex. Weapons Production - Nuclear weapons production and surveillance funding supports the requirements of the DOD. THowever, DOE is concerned that changes in environment, safety, and health requirements could result in the need for funding real location which will require a reprogramming from other lower priority activities. Weapons production includes various types of bombs and warheads such as: the B-61 Tactical Bomb, the W80–0 Sea Launched Cruise Missile Warhead, and the W-88 TRIDENT II Warhead. Also, the Facilities Capability Assurance Program to upgrade aging weapons production facilities will continue. Nuclear Materials Production - The budget request provides for activities related to the restart and Operation of three production reactors at the Savannah River facility in South Carolina consistent with the requirements of the Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Memorandum. However, there is concern over DOE's ability to restart these reactors due to lawsuits being filed for preparation of a full environmental impact statement before restart and the fact that the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for K-Reactor expired December 1988. Funds are provided to continue operation of the reactor feed material production complex and spent fuel chemical processing plants, and support facilities integral to the operation of the program. However, a major safety review of nuclear processing facilities, which is currently underway, may result in upgrades which have not been included in this submission. If required, a reprogramming from lower priority activities will be requested. The budget also supports the deployment of Special Isotope Separation technology in the mid-1990's. Defense Waste and Environmental Restoration - This program provides for safe interim storage, processing, transportation, and UTtimate disposal of radioactive and hazardous wastes generated primarily from nuclear materials production and naval propulsion. The budget provides for continuation of waste operations including initial operation of the Defense Waste Processing 10 E. Facility at the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina. Detailed design will be initiated for the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant at Richland, Washington, which will prepare high-level waste at that site for permanent disposal. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico, is scheduled to begin operations late in 1989 with emphasis on research and development and compliance activities during a five-year test period. Environmental restoration of inactive hazardous or radioactive waste sites and facilities at all DOE defense installations will be continued to meet Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) requirements and terms of compliance agreements and consent orders. Funding is also provided for the planning, design, development; and testing of integrated transport systems which meet Department-wide nuclear material transportation requiremerits. Verification and Control Technology - The Verification and Control Technology program supports the development and execution of U.S. Triational security and foreign policy in the areas of treaty verification, intelligence, and arms control as they relate to nuclear weapons issues. Detection technology efforts include research, development and fabrication of seismic, non-seismic, and satellite devices. The program will continue to provide for continued technical and scientific efforts to support nuclear test treaties and nuclear arms reduction negotiations. However, should the Threshold Test Ban Treaty initiative be continued a reprogramming may be required from lower priority activities. Nuclear Safeguards and Security - The Nuclear Safeguards and Security program is responsible for develſoping measures to assure adequate protection of the Department's nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, facilities, and classified information against theft and sabotage, espionage and terrorist activity. Technical support is also provided to international activities designed to minimize the proliferation of nuclear weapons. In the areas of classification and technology policy, this program protects classified and unclassified sensitive information critical to the national security, controls nuclear energy-related exports, and promotes the transfer of nonsensitive defense-funded technology to the private sector. Security Investigations - The Security Investigations program funds background investigations for DOE and contractor personnel who, in performance of their official duties, require security clearances permitting access to restricted data, national security information, or special nuclear material. li § New Production Reactors - The New Production Reactors program supports the acquisition, including design and construction, of new reactor capacity to meet national security requirements. The FY 1990 budget request is $303.5 million. Two preferred reactor technologies and sites have been recommended, a Heavy Water Reactor at the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina, and Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Development and project design activities will be tailored to maintain the preferred reactor technologies on the same schedules for start of construction. As a contingency, and to support the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, tritium target development activities and resolution of institutional issues associated with the acquisition at the WNP-1 reactor at the Hanford site also will be pursued. The proposed strategy to bring new production reactor capacity on-line is to proceed on an urgent schedule with preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) concurrently with research and development and project design activities tailored to the status of each technology. This strategy allows construction to proceed as soon as possible once the Record of Decision for the EIS has been issued. Funding will continue to support the planning and development of a program strategy and overall management to ensure safety, quality and environmental protection as well as the timely completion of new facilities. Activities will include compliance with NEPA requirements; conceptual design of the reactors; development of the safety review process; initiation of facility engineering and design, and long-lead procurements; and tritium target development. Naval Reactors Development - The Naval Reactors Development program carries out nuclear propulsion development work essentialſ to the U.S. Navy. Work will continue to improve existing submarine and surface ship reactors and plant components, and to develop advanced reactor concepts and propulsion plants. Major efforts include an Advanced Fleet Reactor which will concentrate many of the current advances in reactor concepts, components, and materials to power a new generation of nuclear powered attack submarines. The FY 1990 budget request of $652 million maintains the Advanced Fleet Reactor effort on schedule, and also continues the 10-year extensive servicing and refueling effort for the eight land-based prototype naval reactor plants. 12 & WOLUME 1 WEAPONS ACTIVITIES § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES WOLUME 1 WEAPONS ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Weapons Research and Development . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Weapons Testing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 Production and Surveillance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69 Program Direction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 113 15 & DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOM C ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V | T | ES OVERV I EW WEAPONS ACT | V | f | ES Program Mission The primary mission of Weapons Activities is to research, develop, design, test, produce, maintain, and retire in a safe, secure, and environmentally acceptable manner those nuclear weapons required to preserve our Nation's security. Corollary responsibilities include directing, planning, and coordinating research and development programs to advance weapons-related technologies which include nuclear directed energy weapons and inertial fusion, directing the Department of Energy's program for Nuclear Explosive and Weapons Safety designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized nuclear detonations and to minimize the nuclear risk to the public; administering Department of Energy's international activities under international agreements for cooperation involving nuclear weapons; managing the nuclear emergency response capability; maintaining liaison with the Department of Defense on nuclear weapons matters; and coordinating with other government agencies in nuclear counter-terrorism efforts. Weapons Research and Development activities (1) insure the scientific and technological integrity of the national nuclear weapons stockpile; (2) develop producible weapons for the national stockpile; (3) sustain an innovative technical base for ensuring future weapons capability; and (4) provide the scientific basis for avoiding technological surprise. These activities are pursued in support of weaponization requirements, including improvements in safety and reliability and advanced development with emphasis on maintaining the national nuclear deterrent. These activities include research and development on Nuclear Directed Energy Weapons (NDEW) and the Inertial Fusion program. Weapons underground nuclear testing is an integral part of the overall weapons research and development effort and represents the highest priority experimental program of nuclear weapons research and development. Weapons testing supports a balanced effort of nuclear device tests and other activities for the entire nuclear weapons program. The weapons production and surveillance program manufactures, monitors, maintains, and retires all weapons comprising this Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile. The program also involves the development and operation of safe secure systems for transporting nuclear weapons and weapon components. These production and surveillance requirements are developed jointly by the Departments of Defense and Energy and are approved annually by the President in the Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Memorandum. Weapons Program Direction provides Federal personnel and associated contractual services at DOE Headquarters and field locations for managing DOE's Defense Programs and Weapons. Activities. Funding for the Community Assistance program at Los Alamos, New Mexico, for schools and local government, is also included. Program Management and facilities To accomplish the mission of the Weapons Activities program most effectively, the program management is decentralized. Overall programmatic guidance and oversight is provided by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Military Application in Washington through three Department of Energy Operations Offices located in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Oakland, California. These offices direct a major nationwide complex of Covernment-owned, contractor-operated facilities, where the majority of weapons program activities are conducted. 17 3. Day-to-day technical management of research, development, and testing activities are carried out through the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, which are the nuclear weapon design laboratories; the Sandia National Laboratories, which are the weapons engineering development laboratories; and the Nevada Test Site, which conducts underground nuclear testing. This Nation's nuclear weapons production complex is comprised of , seven Government-owned, contractor-operated production plants. These production plants, which are managed by the Department of Energy's Albuquerque Operations Office, are: the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas; the Kansas City Plant in Missouri; the Mound Plant in Miamisburg, Ohio; the Pinell as Plant in Clearwater, Florida; the Rocky Flats Plant in Colden, Colorado; the Savannah River Plant in Aiken, South Carolina; and the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Together, the weapons complex represents a unique national investment which has evolved over the past 42 years. The value of these facilities is estimated to be over $15 billion and is larger than many major corporations. Maintaining this investment in facilities is essential to the viability of the weapons program and to meeting our national defense needs. Near-Term Coals and Highlights Near-term goals of the Weapons Activities program are summarized as follows: - Support the nuclear weapons stockpile requirements of the Department of Defense; - Maintain a reservoir of traditional and current nuclear research, development, and testing capabilities at a level that should preclude a large Soviet technological lead in the event of unexpected Soviet technological breakthroughs; - Support the President's Strategic Defense Initiative milestones with nuclear directed *::: weapons research; - Restore and maintain the specialized facility capital equipment asset base necessary to maintain U.S. technological superiority; and * Assure production capability by operating in a safe, secure, and environmentally acceptable manner. Supporting the nuclear weapons stockpile requirements dictates that the Department of Energy maintain adequate capability to produce new weapons for delivery to the Department of Defense, as well as maintain older weapons currently in the stockpile. The research, development, and testing technology base is crucial to the future success of the weapons program in meeting national security requirements. Along with near-term activities related to the design of specific weapons and weapon concepts, the technology base provides the deeper scientific understanding in the many disciplines needed to design more effective and safer nuclear weapons. A testing program continues to be essential to prove the viability of designs and new ideas and support the existing stockpile. It is essential that adequate test levels be maintained in order to certify the new weapons for stockpile, to confirm the research on new possible requirements such as the earth penetrator weapon, and to determine the feasibility of nuclear directed energy weapons. Maintaining a strong technology base has allowed us to pursue strategic defense research and other advanced concepts such as inertial fusion. For nuclear directed energy weapons, the Department of Energy will provide to the Department of Defense an assessment of the technical feasibility of nuclear directed energy concepts. The inertial fusion program will complete the feasibility assessment. It is crucial to provide a balance between state-of-the-art equipment and facilities which are necessary to carry out the most advanced work and, equally important, to meet requirements to maintain laboratories, utilities, offices, and roads. Much progress has been made in redressing the backlog of deteriorated equipment and facilities in the past several years. The continuation of the Facilities Capability Assurance Program for the production complex and the revitalization effort for the research, development, and testing complex, along with General Plant Projects and other capital expenditures, are part of our plan to maintain the capital asset base and to meet needs in the future. * The Department of Energy is committed to operating all weapons activities in a safe, secure, and environmentally acceptable manner. This has required major expenditures in the recent past in terms of manpower and facilities to meet new, modern safety, security, and environment protection standards. These efforts will continue into the future. 18 º Budget Summary This is a two-year budget request for fiscal years 1990 and 1991. The resources allocated to Weapons Activities are adequate. If this amount is found to be inadequate to meet near-term goals, a reprogramming of funds will be sought from lower priority activities. The FY 1990/FY 1991 Production and Surveillance budget request has been formulated to support the production, delivery, maintenance, evaluations, modifications, improvements, and retirements of nuclear warheads, bombs, and shells in accordance with national security requirements. However, should unanticipated technical problems or requirements in environmental, safety, and health arise, funding real locations would become necessary. This would require negotiations with the Department of Defense to determine what adjustments may be needed to this Nation's nuclear weapons force structure in order to fund these requirements. The budget request will provide funding to continue core nuclear weapons research, development, and testing activities; research on Nuclear Directed Energy Weapons, and Inertial Fusion below the FY 1989 levels of effort. The FY 1990 increase in Federal staffing full-time equivalents (FTE's) are required to accommodate security reinvestigations of Federal and contractor personnel and increased environmental, safety, and health requirements. With regard to FY 1991, this budget reflects an allocation of an overall three percent increase for Defense Programs.

This program is vital because nuclear deterrence has been, and continues to be, the foundation of the U.S. national security. These activities form the key elements vested in the Department of Energy (DOE) weapons program by the Atomic Energy Acts of 1946 and 1954, as amended. The goals of the research and development program are to maintain the nuclear weapons stockpile, to provide new weapons for the stockpile to meet new requirements, to ensure the technical capability to develop new weapons, and to anticipate and assess evolving threats to avoid technological surprise by an adversary. Program activities are performed by the Nevada Operations Office, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Los Alamos National Laboratcry, the Sandia National Laboratories, and other supporting contractors in the research and development of nuclear weapons. This includes research, development engineering and certification of nuclear warheads required by the Department of Defense for stockpile, investigation of concepts and technologies for future weapons, and advancement of the sciences and technologies applicable to nuclear weapons as well as related research on threat assessment of Nuclear Directed Energy Weapons (NDEW) for both the national Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program and for our strategic deterrent forces. Inertial Fusion activities are incorporated into the Weapons Research and Development program because of their contribution to weapons physics understanding in the weapons technology base. Technology Base activities are the foundation of the program. The technology base consists of the diverse scientific and engineering expertise (people); the basic and applied scientific knowledge; and the specialized equipment, facilities, and data bases which are fundamental for developing atomic energy defense technologies, maintaining nuclear competence, and responding to U.S. security needs in the long term. Programmatically, the technology base is made up of disciplines related to all aspects of nuclear weapons: fission (high explosives, hydrodynamics, and fission physics); fusion (boosting, radiation flow, radiation compression, and fusion burn); and directed/tailored outputs. The technology base also includes fundamental research in those scientific and technical disciplines which are a necessary part of the weapons research and development program; i.e., nuclear physics and engineering, atomic physics, shock hydrodynamics, solid state physics, chemistry, materials science, electronics, and mathematics/computer science. Technology Base activities provide the reservoir of capabilities that are vital to ensure the continued safety, security, and reliability of our present nuclear weapons stockpile, and to support new weapons development engineering and certification efforts. An important part of these activities is directed toward providing scientific innovations, breakthroughs, and technological options to meet future security requirements. Technology base research and development activities are directed toward a number of different areas. An important area is that of weapons safety in which efforts are directed toward reducing the already low probability of accidental dispersal of radioactive materials or of reducing even further the probability of an unauthorized or accidental nuclear yield in existing and future weapons. In the area of weapons control, continuing research and development strives to ensure that the chance of unauthorized use of a nuclear weapon is virtually eliminated. 24 §§ Weapons Research and Development i. Preface: Weapons Research and Development (cont'd) Technology Base activities continue to make possible more militarily effective weapons and to develop longer-lived materials and components to reduce stockpile maintenance costs. Efforts are also being directed toward tailoring weapon outputs to provide specialized damage effects for specific targets. Research leading to more efficient weapon configurations and packaging is performed, contributing to the ability to hold at risk such targets as hardened silos and deeply buried installations. Additional research is focused on increasing our understanding of nuclear weapons performance to enhance predictive capability for certain explosive processes and to give greater confidence in the reliability of the Nation's present stockpile. This will also lead to weapons which are less sensitive to small design variations due to production or material changes. Additionally, basic research is conducted to give broad support for related scientific disciplines (such as nuclear and atomic physics, computational sciences, material sciences, chemistry, and engineering) and to avoid technological surprise. Avoidance of technological surprise is especially important considering the likelihood that a nuclear conflict will be short and a long period for mobilization may not be possible. Significant military advantage could accrue to an adversary due to a technological advance of which we are unaware and to which we have no effective response. Weapons Development Engineering and Certification activities are guided by current national security requirements for providing new strategic and theater nuclear weapon options, and for maintaining the reliability and improving safety and security of all nuclear weapons now in stockpile. Special Projects include: research and development efforts related to improved hardware, systems, and procedures for the protection of nuclear weapons and strategic quantities of special nuclear material during shipment and storage; the operation costs associated with maintenance of the Department of Energy's Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) capabilities and other special studies and audits. These activities utilize many of the scientific and technical capabilities employed in the design, development, safety, and security of nuclear weapons. This category also contains the funding for Federal employment at the Albuquerque Operations Office and the San Francisco Operations Office and related services in support of the research and development effort. The Nuclear Directed Energy Weapons research program activities are conducted as part of a threat assessment for the President's Strategic Defense Initiative and to assess the vulnerability of our current nuclear deterrent. The objectives of this research are (1) to understand the effects of an adversary's possible nuclear directed energy weapons on a U.S. nonnuclear strategic defense system, and (2) to understand the effects of an adversary's possible nuclear directed energy weapons on the U.S. strategic nuclear retaliation system. Through budget reductions in previous years, the scope of this NDEW research effort has been significantly reduced, although the need for technical feasibility determinations as soon as possible continues because they are required to support SD! nonnuclear architecture decisions. Specific technologies being investigated are the x-ray laser, hypervelocity projectiles, and optical frequency laser concepts. Achievement of the objectives for these concepts will clarify the architecture needed for a strategic defense system by more clearly defining the threat should an adversary develop a nuclear strategic defense. Clarifying the threat will make the architecture more cost effective by avoiding production of systems elements which a nuclear system could counter. Also included within the Weapons Research and Development program are the new and improved facilities and specialized equipment to maintain and upgrade our research capability; provide for production assurance; comply with environmental, safety, and health laws and requirements; and enhance safeguards and security at the research and development complex. Weapons Research and Development 26 Preface: Weapons Research and Development (cont'd) The Inertial Fusion program conducts experiments and develops high-power laser and particle beam drivers to explore certain physics processes related to nuclear weapons. Currently, the program is an experimental and theoretical effort to determine the feasibility and affordability of a Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF), which would advance certain weapons physics simulation and effects capabilities. Such a facility, if feasible and affordable, would be built during the 1990's. Classified experiments, called HALITE or CENTURION, are conducted at the Nevada Test Site. The near-term objective of inertial fusion research and development is to demonstrate high energy gain (50-200 times energy out compared to energy in) in the laboratory from fusion fuel targets compressed and heated by high energy lasers or particle beam accelerators. These drivers create the high temperature and high density states of matter required for thermonuclear fusion to occur, permitting modeling of weapons physics phenomena and simulation of weapon effects. The laser and ion beam drivers are also used in nuclear directed energy research. The capabilities of the nuclear weapons laboratories are supplemented by three major support contractors: KMS Fusion, Inc.; the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics; and the Naval Research Laboratory. Major target experiments are conducted on the NOVA glass laser system at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Beam focusing experiments using light ions are carried out on the Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator | | (PBFA | I) at tº: Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque. A krypton fluori de laser is under development at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. § Weapons Research and Development ! I. A. Summary Table Program Activity R&D Core Program 1. & e b. C e d.

The wastewater treatment plant will be located east of Technical Area WA-Site (TA-66) and north of Pajari to Road. The collection system extends site-wide to serve 20 technical areas. The new sanitary wastewater treatment plant will replace existing treatment facilities and septic tanks designed and constructed more than 30 years ago. Since these facilities were constructed, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were created by the Federal Government, which in turn instituted strict requirements for the discharge of wastewater into the environment. The existing facilities do not contain the physical features to produce a consistent sewage effluent that is in compliance with EPA regulations, thereby causing a number of violations of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System of Public Law 92-500. Executive Order 12088 requires that all federally operated facilities by in compliance with the national statutes regarding environmental conditions. The EPA has mandated the compliance of the regulation after 1983, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory has been on notice of this requirement. FY 1990 funding will be used for construction of land improvements, collection system, and treatment plant facilities, and for Title I I engineering services. 49 & |V. B, 1. 2. 3.

These facilities replace aging laboratories that are essential to maintaining the laboratory's plutonium processing operations and the overall weapons program. Without these new and refurbished facilities, continued long-term reliable, safe, and secure operations of critical chemistry and metallurgy R&D services cannot be ensured. Corroded and breached air handling ducts, inadequate supply of filtered air, marginal building-wide filter systems, and inadequate control systems contribute to serious situations developing in the CMR Building. A system failure would adversely affect safety of personnel and require shutting down the facility. The CMR building is overcommitted at 150 percent planned capacity with laboratories located in basement storage areas. Glove boxes are corroded and require replacement. Many areas in the building are radiologically contaminated and beyond economically viable cleanup. In short, the CMR building is at the end of its useful life. 51 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDCET REQUEST ATOM 1C ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V |T|ES (dollars in thousands) KEY ACT | V | TY CONSTRUCT 10N PROJECT SUMMARY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS 52 Weapons Research and Development In FY 1990, funds will be used to continue facilities construction.

Also, within the "Super Block" subproject are new special nuclear materials vaults, radiographic and Special Nuclear Materials laboratories, office space additions to replace modular trailers, and a secondary alarm system. The purpose of this project is to provide for upgrading/enhancement of physical protection at LLNL as required to meet current Department of Energy threat guidance. This project will implement the use of a layered security system which places the most stringent access controls on the highest risk targets and offers a reasonable interface between low-risk targets and the public. The "Super Block" concentrates the highest risk activities within one tightly controlled area. The "Layered Security System" then provides the layered intrusion, threat assessment, and response capability around the "Super Block." Both aspects are necessary to implement fully the layered system required to mitigate threats to materials, property, and personnel. FY 1990 funding will be used to continue the "Super Block" and the "Layered Security System" design/construction/procurement activities initiated in prior years. 55 IV.

As a result, nuclear testing represents the highest priority experimental program of nuclear weapons research and development. Nuclear tests are conducted to fulfill a number of basic objectives. Principal among those are: - To evaluate and maintain confidence in the performance of stockpile weapons that form the basis of our national policy of nuclear deterrence. - To develop safe, secure, and effective weapons for new military weapon systems needed to counter the changing Soviet threat, thus maintaining our deterrent into the future. - To ensure survivability of weapons and other military assets, including command, control, communication, and intelligence systems exposed to a hostile nuclear environment. - To avoid technological surprise by exploring new weapon concepts which could constitute potential new Soviet threats or could provide significant enhancement to our own deterrent. - To improve our ability to understand and predict the behavior of nuclear weapon systems to permit changes or improvements in nuclear design that might be needed for future deterrence, should additional restrictions be placed on nuclear testing. Several well-coordinated activities are required before nuclear tests can be conducted in a safe and efficient manner. In many cases, an experimental nuclear device needs to be designed and fabricated; in all cases, an array of diagnostic instruments and detectors must be designed and fabricated to measure weapon performance to provide the weapon designer with sufficient information to understand what has transpired in the test. All of these components are engineered into a relatively compact experimental package which is deeply emplaced underground in such a way that the energy and radioactive debris from the explosion is safely contained underground. The Technology Base portion of the nuclear testing program supports research and development efforts to improve our understanding of the physical processes relevant to nuclear weapon design. Experiments in this category often are specially designed to isolate critical factors that can affect weapon performance. Tests to explore the feasibility of new nuclear designs that might be needed for new Department of Defense weapon systems for deterrence in the future are also included in this category. lf additional restrictions are placed on nuclear testing, greater reliance will have to be placed on our basic understanding of the physics of nuclear weapons that can be developed with tests in this category. The Weapons Development, Engineering, and Certification (WDEC) portion of nuclear testing supports work on the current stockpile and near-term improvements to the stockpile. When an experimental device is chosen for use in a new stockpile weapon system, nuclear tests are generally needed to assure that engineering features are incorporated into the device to make it a militarily useful, safe, and survivable weapon. In certain of these tests, a weapon or major weapon components are returned from the stockpile and detonated to assure that changes introduced in the production process and/or effects of the stockpile environment, e.g., aging, have not adversely affected device performance over time. 61 3 Weapons Testing ! . Preface: Weapons Testing (cont'd) The Testing Capabilities category encompasses those activities necessary to maintain and enhance our national capability to conduct full-scale underground nuclear tests (within the 150 kiloton limit) at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and to conduct nonnuclear tests and field experiments elsewhere in support of NTS activities. Included in this category are efforts directed toward (1) improving the efficiency of nuclear testing through improved engineering techniques and the use of advanced technology, (2) improving containment practices and techniques to assure that tests are conducted in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner, (3) maintenance of the NTS, (4) providing the necessary logistical support to the technical organizations participating in test activities, and (5) preparing for future test activities to meet anticipated national security needs. The Nuclear Directed Energy Weapons (NDEW) portion of nuclear testing supports research to explore the feasibility of NDEW concepts: x-ray laser, hypervelocity projectiles, and optical frequency lasers. Because they investigate the behavior of complicated devices and phenomena different from those previously experienced in the traditional nuclear weapons program, these tests tend to be extremely complex and require new diagnostic instrumentation techniques. The FY 1990/1991 test schedule is structured in coordination with the NDEW research and development activity which will support threat assessment for the Strategic Defense initiative (SDI) program by enhancing physical understanding of theoretical concepts and calculations, leading to decisions on technical feasibility of the concepts. The Marshall Islands Program category includes costs incurred in carrying out the Department's obligations to conduct environmental studies of those Marshall Islands contaminated by atmospheric testing prior to the Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT) and to provide medical surveillance of the people of Rongelap and Utrik and medical care to those actually exposed. 8 category does not support any nuclear underground testing. 62 s: Weapons Testing A.

This category also contains the funding for Federal employment and related services at the Albuquerque Operations Office, Oak Ridge Operations Office, and Savannah River Operations Office in support of the production and surveillance mission. Funding for the construction of production facilities, procurement of capital equipment, and for plant operations is included in this request. Weapons production and surveillance operating expense funding is divided into five major categories: War Reserve New Production, Stockpile Maintenance, Stockpile Evaluation, Process Development, and Other Costs. The description of these categories are as follows: War Reserve New Production This includes direct and indirect costs incurred for procurement and/or manufacture of materials, piece parts, and assemblies required in the final assembly of warheads to be delivered to the Department of Defense. Stockpile Mointenance Maintenance of the existing stockpile includes funding required to maintain weapons and weapon components currently in the nuclear weapons war reserve stockpile and those to be delivered to the stockpile. The costs incurred to retire and disassemble nuclear weapons from the stockpile are also funded under this subactivity. Stockpile Evaluation This provides the funding required to assure the high quality and reliability of nuclear weapons and components in the war reserve stockpile and those products to be delivered to the stockpile. A vigorous reliability assessment program is necessary to continuously evaluate and determine that nuclear weapons are produced according to design specifications and that transportation, deployment, and storage of nuclear weapons over their stockpile lifetime do not result in degradation. Quarterly reliability reports are issued for every weapon throughout its stockpile life. 72 º Weapons Production and Surveillance Preface: Weapons Production and Surveillance (cont'd) Process Development The process development activity is directed toward (1) adequately supporting all current and planned production of new nuclear and nonnuclear weapon components in Phase 3, (2) developing new processes to improve production operations by reducing process time and/or reducing attrition of materials and improving manufacturing process yields, and (3) developing process and production techniques required to support necessary advanced technologies in order to provide for an efficient transition of new technologies into Phase 3 development programs for future weapons as defined by the weapons design laboratories. Other Costs This category of costs, included in the Manufacturing Support Production Base, is made up of several production and surveillance activities which are not included in product cost. Nuclear Materials Recycle and Recovery This activity includes the funding required to recycle and recover nuclear material from fabrication and assembly operations, limited life components, and retirements of weapons and components. field Engineering, Training, and Manuals Includes the funding required for technical training of military and contractor personnel participating in evaluations of new weapons prior to complete engineering release and for liaison and training programs at DOE sites and DOD installations. Transportation Includes the funding required by DOE/AL for the safe secure transportation of classified weapons, components, and strategic quantities of special nuclear materials between nuclear processing facilities and storage sites or other final destinations. Includes funding for personnel and related costs of the Albuquerque Operations Office Transportation Safeguards Division under the single manager concept. facility Stortup includes funding for operational testing, training of operating personnel, and similar costs involved in the preparation of new facilities or reactivated standby facilities for weapons production operations. Standby Includes funding for conditioning weapons production facilities to a standby status and maintaining standby facilities for possible further use. Decontamination and Disposition of Facilities Includes funding required for the decontamination and disposition of radioactively contaminated DOE weapons production facilities, equipment, and land. 73 R. Weapons Production and Surveillance Preface: Weapons Production and Surveillance (cont'd) Miscell aneous This category includes funding for production and surveill ance activities not included in the other classifications. Includes Federal employment and related services at the Albuquerque Operations Office, Oak Ridge Operations Office, and Savannah River Operations Office which are funded in Production and Surveillance. Also includes funding for changes in inventory balances of materials, supplies, and parts on hand that are normally consumed in manufacturing, maintenance, and other operations. Capital funding for construction of specific weapon system production facilities, construction of production support facilities, and basic equipment and computers are identified as separate activities. Environment, Safety, and Health construction and Safeguards and Security construction are also highlighted as separate activities. The FY 1990/FY 1991 Production and Surveill ance budget request has been formulated to support the production, delivery, maintenance, evaluations, modifications, improvements, and retirements of nuclear warheads, bombs, and shells in accordance with national security requirements. However, should unanticipated requirements in environmental, safety, and health arise, funding real locations would become necessary. This would require a reprogramming of funds from lower priority activities. 74 ~! CA) Weapons Production and Surveillance Program Activity 1.

Newly developed technology in metal hydride storage, pumping, compression, and separation of isotopes will be provided. The purpose of this project is to replace loading facilities needed to support the weapon production. Expansion of existing facilities is not practical due to physical limitations and the age of the process equipment. The combined effect of new equipment and technology will allow a 25 percent reassignment of current reservoir loading manpower requirements. Improved containment will result in virtual elimination of atmospheric releases from loading operations. The FY 1990 funding will be used to continue process design, for equipment acquisition, and for construction. 37.

The NMP's responsibilities include producing adequate amounts of materials to meet near-term requirements and to insure that a capability is maintained to meet long-range requirements in existing facilities until replacement capability can be obtained by the Department. A separate office for management of the New Production Reactor (NPR) was created in FY 1989. Therefore, a separate decision unit for the NPR is now included elsewhere in the Department's budget submission. Program Overview To meet weapons program requirements, NMP has a complex of feed materials facilities, fuel fabrication facilities, production reactors, and processing plants located across the Nation. These are the only facilities capable of meeting weapons materials needs. Tritium is the most vital element required for continued weapons production. This is because its rate of decay (tritium has a half-life of approximately 12 years) requires its periodic replacement in existing weapons. That means, that just to maintain the current stockpile tritium must continue to be produced. Plutonium is also *...* to meeting stockpile requirements, however, with its long half-life, most of the plutonium required can be obtained from the planned retirements of existing weapons or recovery from residues existing in DOE's inventory. However, production of additional plutonium will be required, at least over the next decade to meet stockpile requirements. The Special Isotope Separation facility provides flexibility by maintaining a capability to provide weapon-grade plutonium between 1995 and 1999, in case there is a sudden increase in demand. All three operable production reactors at our Savannah River Plant (SRP) are shutdown for safety upgrades. The upgrades that the Department has determined as necessary prior to restarting the SRP reactors cannot be accomplished quickly. Even with adequate funding, reactor restart will be difficult to accomplish since additional oversight reviews may identify further work. A lawsuit has been filed calling for a full environmental impact statement prior to restart, and thermal mitigation must be provided to satisfy the Consent Decree for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for K-Reactor which expired in December 1988. Available Defense Program funding in FY 1989 is being directed, through a reprogramming, to this reactor restart effort. Several major safety reviews of our processing facilities are currently underway. The reviews are being performed by the National Academy of Sciences and the Department's Advisory Committee on Nuclear Facility Safety. Our past experience is that such reviews have required many improvements to these facilities and the way they are operated and maintained; some new, and some accelerations of work are in progress or being planned. Any requirements resulting from the reviews must be provided through reprogramming of lower priority activities. With regard to FY 1991, this budget reflects an allocation of an overall 3 percent increase for Defense Programs. } 37 : Summary In the past several years, the production complex has been required to spend an ever increasing proportion of its funding to upgrade obsolete and aging facilities and to meet current standards of environment, safety, , and health compliance. In addition to capital improvements, many changes in how we operate and maintain our facilities have been implemented, increasing the amount of base funding needed to keep our complex operational. Although FY 1990 funding provides adequate support for activities as they are defined today, any increase in workload would have to be met by reprogramming funds from lower priority activities. * 38 § Operating Expenses: Reactor Operations Processing of Nuclear Materials Supporting Services Enriched Material Program Direction Subtotal, Operating Expenses Capital Equipment Construction Total, Nuclear Materials Production Staffing (FTE's) Headquarters Savannah River Idaho FY 1990/FY AT DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST OMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Nuclear Materials Production | 39 PFOgFāīTCHAſge Request vs. Base FY 1990 FY 1988 FY 1989 Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollars $ 552,435 aſd/e/g/ $ 552,976 aſg/$ 562,976 $ 573,349 + 10,373 515,800 d/T 511,717 511,717 567,609 + 55,892 242,647 aſc/d/g/ 259,679 g/ 259,679 269,418 + 9,739 ### ##y ## ## , s: + * * p -

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY NUCLEAR MATERIALS PRODUCTION Preface: Reactor Operations The Reactor Operations activity includes the production reactor feed plants at Fernald, Ohio, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and an extrusion facility at Ashtabula, Ohio; production reactors and fuel and target fabrication facilities at the Savannah River Plant; and N Reactor and related facilities at the Hanford site. After the accident at the Chernobyl reactor in the Soviet Union, in May of 1986, Secretary Herrington commissioned the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Academy of Engineering, (NAE) to perform an independent assessment of safety and technical issues relating to the Department's Class A Reactors, with emphasis on the N Reactor at Hanford and P, K, C, and L reactors at SRP. The results of their assessment were published in October 1987. The NAS/NAE report made 17 recommendations for improvement of our defense production reactors. A number of the recommendations dealt with the need to improve the level of maintenance, upgrades, training, technical support, emergency preparedness, as well as with specific technical issues. In May 1988, the Department committed to an action plan to resolve each of the recommendations. In August 1988, after anomalies were experienced with the restart of P Reactor at the end of an outage to upgrade seismic braces, the Department determined that the three operable SRP reactors would not be restarted until NMP can successfully accomplish physical plant and operational type upgrades. These upgrades include improvements to plant design and system support; operator performance; management systems and practices; and DOE oversight. Based on review committee recommendations, reactor safety activities at Savannah River have been expanded in an effort to redefine and document the plant design basis. This effort is expected to identify additional safety activities to be implemented in the outyears. While most of the known essential activities defined in the above reviews, etc. are funded under this budget at the minimum essential level, there is no provision in this budget for additional safety activities or upgrades which likely will be identified from the continuing baseline and review activities or for acceleration of known activities. If such findings become necessary, requests will be submitted to reprogram funds from lower priority activities. In February 1988, DOE announced that Richland's N Reactor would be placed in cold standby. This condition requires that the reactor, and its related facilities at Hanford be capable of being restarted within 3 years. Although some savings were realized from this decision, site overhead and environmental requirements reduced the potential savings considerably. The need for maintaining N Reactor as a tritium contingency option to the continued operation of the SRP reactors has become critical due to the recent problems with the Savannah River reactors. There is no funding included in this budget to support the reactor production of other isotopes needed for non-weapon purposes. The National Aeronáutics and Space Administration (NASA) has requested the production of Pu-238 as a power source. We have indicated to NASA that funding issues will have to be resolved before actions could proceed to support production. § II. A.

In addition, Special Isotope Separation activities are carried out at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The Idaho Fuels Processing Facility receives spent nuclear fuels from the naval propulsion program and fuels from research and test reactors, and recovers enriched uranium from these fuels. The major mission for the nuclear materials plutonium processing facilities at Richland (PUREX and the Plutonium Finishing Plant) is to process remaining backlog of irradiated N Reactor fuel, meet plutonium blendstock requirements, and process remaining scrap inventories. Activities at Savannah River include the processing of Pu-239 and tritium in the F and H processing areas. The Pu-239 processing operations separate high ?...} plutonium produced in the production reactors for blending with fuel-grade plutonium from Richland to produce weapon-grade plutonium. Operation of the Central Scrap Management Office at Oak Ridge will continue in FY 1990-1991. The National Academy of Sciences has been requested by Congress to perform interim independent oversight of NMP's non-reactor nuclear facilities. In addition, the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Facility Safety is conducting major reviews of the Department's processing facilities and several technical safety appraisals have been scheduled by the Office of Environment, Safety, and Health. We anticipate needing to expeditiously respond to any findings identified after these reviews. Because of the Department's need to direct additional funds to the SRP reactor restart efforts, there is not sufficient funding through FY 1991 to initiate work on *:::::: FFTF fuel. The FFTF fuel is needed as feed for the Special Isotope Separation Plant. The deferral of this activity will require additional funding in later years to maintain the PUREX plant in an operational mode or for other means of processing. Most of the processing plants are over 30 years old, designed and built to outdated environmental and safety standards. While upgrades have been made, funding constraints have forced deferral of lower priority activities such as preventive maintenance, enhanced operation and maintenance training, enhanced operations and radiological protection technical support, enhanced emergency training, as-built drawing updates, improved incident analysis systems, etc. Many improvements have already been identified and upgrade º: are underway, but experience says this will not be enough. New programs are bound to be identified and old programs will probably be accelerated. These additional and enhanced activities can not be supported within this budget without considering a reprogramming from lower priority activities. A new problem has been identified with the processing of fluorinel dissolver product from the INEL to metal at the Y-12 plant. Increasing levels of U-232 in the product fº from INEL increases exposures to Y-12 workers that can only be reduced through facility upgrades. These upgrades are still being detailed and a cost estimate is not yet available; however, no funding exists in the . 1990-1991 budget to support such upgrades. If necessary, request will be submitted to reprogram funds from lower priority requirements. } 52 I. § The weapons program recently identified a need for increased amounts of some special isotopes for weapons testin approxiately $4 million per year over the next several years. budget.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 INTERNAL REVIEW BUDGET REQUEST ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACT IWITIES (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY NUCLEAR MATERIALS PRODUCTION Preface: Supporting Services Funds in this account are in direct support of the activities discussed in the processing and reactor operations portions of this budget request. Supporting services F. : for essential activities to maintain production site º: at current levels and to continue efforts to retain nuclear materials production capability for national defense. Applied development on current operating processes is needed to assure continued, efficient, and safe operation and to meet production goals. This effort includes: development of engineering improvements for environmental protection and safety concerns, process optimization to maximize production at minimum unit cost, development of alternative production methods to ºn: to changes in the production and product requirements, etc. With the increase in environmental, safety, health and materials requirements experienced over the last few years, it is essential to maintain an adequate level of development. Program funds provide startup, shutdown, and standby costs for production facilities needed to meet either current material requirements or possible future requirements. Other supporting services activities include production of lithium compounds and uranium metals for weapons; transportation and security for material shipments; conceptual engineering studies; safety, environmental and safeguards costs; long-range nuclear materials management planning; general site safety improvement activities; warehousing; funding of inventories such as common use stores, and production of other nuclear materials inventories; and miscellaneous contractor activities such as award fees. The base level of funding required in supporting services account has risen with the procurement of a new contractor to operate the Savannah River Plant. In addition to the long-term benefits owed by the Department to the departing employees of the DuPont Company, the new contract with Westinghouse Savannah River Company includes provisions for an award fee. This fee alone increases the expected base supporting services requirements by about $20 million a year. Additionally, there are changes in the number of staff housed on site and contractor expectations that further increase the base cost of doing business. II. A.

Preface: Capital Equipment Reactor and processing operations utilize large, unique, and expensive items of equipment. The majority of this equipment is so old that it is obsolete or antiquated. In the corrosive environment of fuel processing facilities, stainless steel or equivalent material resistant to corrosion must be used. Also, because of the high radiation levels in the processing facilities, equipment must be specially designed for remote in-place maintenance and removal. A §'; portion of the increase in capital equipment requirements is as a result of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) initial technical recommendations. Equipment must be repaired and maintained to assure a high level of operation. When replacement parts are no longer available for installed :*:::::: modern replacement equipment is procured, installed, and º:::::: into the remainder of the process systems, if possible. However, in many instances, old equipment must be repaired and irreplaceable parts must be fabricated on-site, an expensive and inefficient alternative. This request provides for critical equipment needs at all sites to continue reactor operation, processing facilities and, maintaining supporting services to ensure the production of nuclear materials. Without proper replacement of equipment, the already overextended facilities will continue to rapidly deteriorate. Equipment funding by program activity is shown in a table below. II. A.

Many of the Department's materials production facilities are presently experiencing unplanned, extended outages due to widely publicized concerns over personnel, public, and environmental safety. This is a trend which can be expected to continue as ongoing reviews Of ::::::::: facilities across the complex are concluded. Corrective actions must be initiated immediately to address these urgent problems. Construction project funding is also necessary to . a credible effort to bring all of the Department's facilities into compliance with Federal and State environmental regulations; to continue safeguards and security projects to ensure ;:*::: of national security installations and valuable nuclear materials; and to ensure long-term technology for reliable continued production of special nuclear materials. Various projects are required to improve existing facilities or for maintenance and/or upgrade of facilities required for national defense. Many of the production facilities are over 30 years old and require extensive modification or replacement to keep critical production facilities in condition to meet defined mission requirements. Environmental projects are those projects that correct and clean up environmental hazards caused by the operation of nuclear materials production facilities. These projects are essential to bring DOE facilities into compliance with current environmental laws such as: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Clean Water Act, and relevant Environmental Protection Agency and DOE imposed regulations. Failure to attain compliance with these environmental requirements can directly lead to facility shutdowns and the failure to meet the material production requirements. Safeguards and security construction projects are required to protect the operation of key national security nuclear production facilities. The overall secure operation of the Savannah River Plant is crucial, therefore, continuing safeguards efforts are being made to permit adequate protection of this major production facility. Finally, construction projects are proposed to ensure that the long-term mission of the NMP complex can be met. 177 I. s II. A.

This waste has resulted from operations over the years at the Hanford site at Richland, Washington, the Savannah River Plant at Aiken, South Carolina, the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) at Idaho Falls, Idaho, and at other Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, and continues to be generated as a result of Defense Programs' ongoing production activities. The DWER program manages environmental restoration of inactive hazardous or radioactive waste sites and facilities at all Defense Programs installations under requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended in 1986, and Section 3004(u) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Environmental Restoration program was established in FY 1988 by combining RCRA/CERCLA funding originally requested in several different budget activities. The purpose of this consolidation was to provide a more cost-effective, unified program for the management of these similar efforts throughout 00E Defense Programs. The DWER program includes management of the operation and maintenance of: high-level waste storage tanks and related processing and storage facilities; low-level waste disposal facilities; transuranic (tº waste retrievable storage facilities; TRU waste certification facilities; low-level liquid and gaseous waste facilities; and filter testing facilities at numerous DOE production sites. These processing, storage and disposal activities are conducted in support of the defense nuclear materials production mission. A major effort has been underway to demonstrate permanent disposal of TRU waste and the immobilization of high-level defense waste (HLW). Additionally, the DWER program directs the DOE-wide transportation management program to ensure the safe, secure, and efficient movement of hazardous and other materials to meet DOE needs. This includes the development and implementation of analytical methods and testing capabilities for package design and regulatory compliance; and support in areas of transportation and packaging operations, training, and information and communication activities. Public Law 97-90 required a plan for permanent disposal of HLW and TRU waste resulting from atomic energy defense activities. The plan, entitled "The Defense Waste Management Plan" (DWMP), was submitted to the Congress by the President on June 16, 1983. The plan presented a sequential approach for the long-term management and disposal of HLW and TRU waste at each DOE site. The DWMP recognized that the costs and schedules presented would be reviewed annually by the Department during the course of the budget cycle. New activities described in the plan would be reevaluated in terms of their scope, timing, need, and relative ranking compared to other ºt priorities. New environmental laws and changes in program emphasis have resulted in schedule delays in implementation of the plan. Program Overview Work is proceeding for the operation of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at Savannah River. The DWPF will provide the final step in immobilizing HLW at Savannah River in borosilicate glass for ultimate disposal in a repository. Facility construction began in early FY 1984 and will be completed in FY 1990, with hot operation scheduled in the fourth quarter of FY 1990. Immobilization at DWPF and disposal in a repository will ensure the long-term isolation of this waste from the environment with minimal maintenance and surveillance. 213 § Conceptual design has been completed and long-lead construction items are on order for the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP) project, which will immobilize HLW at Richland in borosilicate glass for ultimate disposal in a repository. The HWVP is expected to be operational in 2001. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), located near Carlsbad, New Mexico, is a research and development (R&D) facility to demonstrate . the safe disposal of TRU waste º from defense activities and programs. Ongoing studies at WIPP will ensure that all aspects of construction and proposed operation will protect worker and public health and safety, as well as preserve environmental integrity. By the end of 1989, WIPP will be capable of receiving, inspecting, and emplacing TRU waste in a deep geological environment for experi- mental and environmental compliance purposes. The WIPP facility is sized to handle existing and expected defense TRU waste generation. The first TRU waste will be shipped to WIPP from Idaho and the Rocky Flats Plant in Colorado. Waste storage and demonstration operations cannot commence until the existing land order is amended, or a new land order is issued. Land withdrawal legislation will likely be considered by the 101st Congress. Other facilities for TRU waste processing are required to retrieve, certify and move stored TRU waste from various sites to WIPP. These include the TRU waste processing facilities at the Hanford site, Idaho Falls, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Savannah River Plant. For FY 1990, a significant increase is required in the Environmental Restoration program to meet RCRA/CERCLA closure requirements, to comply with existing consent orders and compliance agreements, to proceed with Hanford reactor decontamination and decommissioning activities, etc. Hazardous Waste Compliance Technology efforts also will be expanded to meet the terms of compliance agreements and consent orders entered into with State and Federal regulatory agencies. The Waste Research and Development program must increase technical support and criteria *...*. efforts to support the HWWP design, support acceptance of defense HLW at a licensed geologic repository, and support compliance efforts for the WIPP. Increases for the Transportation Management program are º: to support expanded training for shippers, carriers, and public officials and focus on new waste packaging nitiatives. With regard to FY 1991, this budget reflects an allocation of an overall 3 percent increase for Defense Programs. Summary The FY 1990 DWER budget request continues to recognize the significant impact of the various environmental laws and regulations and reflects a transition from storage to disposal operations, cleanup activities and a commitment to dealing with environment, safety and health concerns. Should the need for additional funding be identified during FY 1990, requests will be made to reprogram funds from lower priority activities. § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Defense Waste and Environmental Restoration FY 1988 Actual Operating Expenses: Environmental Restoration $ 97,798 Waste Operations and Projects 411,597 aſ Waste Research and Development 51,082 Hazardous Waste Compliance Technology 7, 112 Transportation Management 8,400 Program Direction 2,530 b/ Subtotal, Operating Expenses ſo Capital Equipment 43,687 Construction 263, 196 ch Subtotal, Defense Waste and Environmental Restoration 885,402 Use of Prior Year Balances/ Other Adjustments O Total, Defense Waste and Environmental Restoration $ 885,402 Staffing (FTEs) 156 Headquarters 40 b/ Idaho 116 T FY 1989 Appropriation $ 159,325 532,042 aſ 58,460 8,377 720 9, 3,100 b/ 52,716 194,150 1,017,900 -43,000 $ 974,900 162 45 b/ 117 - FFOg|FăWTCHAnge Request vs. Base FY 1990 Base Request Dollars $ 159,325 $ 315,293 +155,968 532,042 499,267 - 32,775 58,460 89,225 + 30,765 8,377 10, 163 + 1,786 }:{;

Preface: Environmental Restoration The Environmental Restoration (ER) program accomplishes remedial action and decontamination and decommissioning projects on a priority basis to assure that potential risks to the environment and to human health and safety resulting from past Defense Programs activities are eliminated or are reduced to insignificant levels. The Environmental Restoration program remedial action require- ments are derived primarily from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), and Section 3004 (u) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as amended (RCRA). The program consists mainly of activities related to corrective actions ºf. closure of waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, and remediation of inactive waste disposal sites, uncontrol led release sites and underground storage tanks. The scopes, schedules and cleanup standards for these activities are negotiated with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states and are the subject of RCRA permits, Consent Orders and Compliance Agreements and CERCLA Federal Facility Agreements. The Defense Decontamination and Decommissioning program manages inactive (surplus) contaminated facilities under the Atomic Energy Act and is part of the Environmental Restoration program. ::". increases in funding of the remedial actions portion of the º are required in FY 1990 as the ER program activities shift predominately into the detailed investigation, characterization and alternatives analysis phases of remediation.

The program includes the operation and maintenance of high-level waste (HLW) storage tanks, bins, and related processing and storage facilities at Savannah River (SR), Richland (RL), and Idaho (ID); the operation and maintenance of low-level waste (LLW) disposal facilities at SR, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Hanford Reservation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, and the Nevada Test Site; the retrievable storage of transuranic (TRU) waste at several sites; the operation of TRU waste certification facilities at several sites; the operation of low-level liquid and gaseous waste facilities; and the operation of three filter testing facilities. In FY 1990, the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is scheduled to begin hot operations at the Savannah River Plant. For over four decades the nuclear defense complex has been producing j...'. radioactive waste which is currently stored at the Savannah River Plant, the Hanford Site, and the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The DWPF at the Savannah River Plant represents the first full scale defense HLW immobilization facility in this country. The product of the DWPF will be borosilicate glass contained in steel canisters which will be stored onsite until a federal geologic repository is available. The next site scheduled for an immobilization facility is the Hanford Site, which will begin construction of the Hanford Waste Wi trification Plant (HWVP) during FY 1991. The DOE is º its commitment to implement the mixed waste (byproduct) rule. Near-term modifications in existing facilities, new facilities, changes in operational procedures and additional monitoring is expected to be required for the management of HLW and TRU waste at the Department's field operations to be in compliance with the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Atomic Energy Act (AEA). Environmental compliance by the DOE HLW/TRU waste management system is dependent on completion of future actions (e.g., Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), HLW geologic repository, vitrification plants, TRU certification facilities) that are already in various stages of implementation. To account for these ongoing projects and to ascertain the need for additional compliance actions, 00E is negotiating with EPA and the states on such issues as corrective actions for retrievably stored TRU waste and HLW stored in tanks, container inspection and storage requirements, regulatory closure times for mixed waste treatment, storage, and disposal (T/S/D) units, and RCRA alternative permitting procedures for units such as WIPP, HLW vitrification plants and LLW grouting.

The project will upgrade equipment and systems which have a history of maintenance problems, are not expected to withstand operation through the year 2000, or need corrective measures to meet existing standards. This upgrade will include implementation of system changes which will improve the overall system operating efficiency. The E/C is the cornerstone of waste management operations at the Hanford site and must be upgraded to continue to be the major contributor to waste management operations. Signs of wear from extensive operations indicate that continued operation would be difficult without major downtime for repairs. In addition, upgrades will be required to meet existing standards. The upgrade will repair and reduce system wear, increase º efficiency and extend the operational life of the E/C through the year 2000. The increased capabilities of the E/C will allow waste management operations to meet projected demands within anticipated funding limits. The FY 1990 funding will be used to continue construction- related activities. Construction will occur in two phases due to the need for the evaporator to be operational. The majority of project construction will be accomplished during scheduled operational shutdowns.

Major Verification and Control Technology program objectives over the next five years include: O Conducting advanced research, developing technologies, and fabricating systems for verifying treaties and for nuclear-related intelligence collection. O Providing technical and analytical support in nuclear and other arms control negotiations and related interagency deliberations. O Supporting the Department's responsibilities to the national intelligence community and the national security policy makers. O Assessing actual or potential threats to the Department's and other United States Covernment nuclear facilities and activities. Verification and Control Technology activities are managed by the Office of Arms Control and the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Intelligence. Activities are carried out by the Department of Energy Headquarters staff, national laboratories, and Department of Energy contractors. Program efforts are coordinated with the Departments of Defense and State, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Verification and Control Technology activities can be divided into three broad categories: Detection Technology; Analytical Support; and Threat Assessment. 307 É Detection Technology objectives in treaty verification are to locate, identify, and characterize nuclear detonations underground, underwater, in the atmosphere, and in space. An additional objective is to provide early warning of activities characteristic of nuclear proliferation. Activities include performing research, developing technologies, and fabricating systems for verifying nuclear-related arms control treaties. Related research and development activities focus on detecting directed energy and chemical weapons and providing technical tagging and imagery support for treaty compliance verification. The long-term objective of the Detection Technology program is to ensure state-of-the-art verification technology consistent with progressive national needs. Special emphasis is placed on determining national security implications of possible nuclear testing limitation treaty provisions and onsite inspection verification proposals. Careful attention is given to analyzing the nuclear-related activities of developing nations suspected of designing or creating a nuclear weapon capability. Several of these responsibilities are fixed by statute (e.g., Atomic Energy Act, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act, and Executive Orders). Others are Department of Energy policy responsibilities. Arms control support is provided for interagency and international arms control policy and treaty verification/compliance deliberations. High interest programs in Analytical Support assess Soviet research, development, testing, and production of nuclear warheads and advanced weapons, Soviet strategic directed energy weapon technologies, and Soviet space nuclear power programs. These intelligence activities are influenced by a variety of international events and trends, particularly in the areas of nuclear and nonnuclear energy policy and technology, strategic petroleum issues, defense and national security policy, and weapons technology development. These projects not only support Department of Energy activities but also fulfill the Department's responsibility to support the Intelligence Community with #:*::::::: analysis. The Department of Energy also supports the lintelligence Community with technical and research capabilities. The Department is represented at the policy level in formulating intelligence collection and analysis requirements and in setting production and dissemination guidelines. The third Verification and Control Technology program area is domestic Threat Assessment. Programmatic objectives include assessing actual or potential threats to the Department and other United States Government nuclear facilities and activities. This program coordinates information requirements with appropriate Federal, state, and local government agencies and organizations. Verification and Control Technology near-term goals include: O Developing effective tools for on site and incountry verification of nuclear testing and other arms control tresties. O Continuing development of next-generation satellite instrumentation for nuclear treaty verification. O Participating in arms control deliberations, emphasizing development of equipment and procedures to verify treaty compliance without compromising sensitive information at inspected Department of Energy facilities. O Analyzing foreign nuclear intelligence in support of the Administration's arms control proposals. 308 É O Developing a departmental infrastructure to support domestic threat assessment activities throughout the Department of Energy field complex including communications, designation and training of personnel, and implementation of domestic assessment guidelines as approved by the Department of Justice. O Enhancing the ability of the Department of Energy to identify and assess threats from a larger threat spectrum than current capability allows. O Enhancing the ability to assess threats and transactions. Budget Summary This is a two-year budget request for fiscal years 1990 and 1991. The programs in this budget are driven by the pace and scope of the Administration's arms control initiatives and resultant negotiations.

Related research and development activities focus on detecting directed energy and chemical weapons and providing technical tagging and imagery support for treaty compliance verification. Activities include performing advanced research and developing and fabricating systems for verifying current and potential nuclear and advanced weapon treaties. Verification research and technology development is increasingly driven by the pace and scope of the Administration's arms control initiatives and resulting negotiations. The FY 1989 Congressional Budget Request contained support for a Joint Verification Experiment with the Soviet Union. Due to the rapid pace of negotiations, the Joint Verification Experiment was conducted in FY 1988. Similarly, the requirement for equipment to monitor compliance of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Foraces/Strategic Arms Reduction Talks treaties was accelerated and efforts were begun in FY 1988 to provide this capability. Internal Department of Energy reprogramming in FY 1988 supported the Joint Verification Experiment and initial development of equipment for verifying the lintermediate-Range Nuclear Forces/Strategic Arms Reduction Talks treaties. FY 1989 activities are impacted by the need to continue development and upgrade verification technologies and systems for Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces/Strategic Arms Reduction Talks compliance. Efforts will continue in FY 1990 and FY 1991 to further enhance verification capabilities for these treaties. The on site monitoring activity is developing the capability of monitoring and verifying compliance with the proposed augmented Threshold Test Ban Treaty and its companion Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty. The Department of Energy's role in this area is defined in National Security Decision Directives 51, 63, and 81. These National Security Decision Directives direct the verification community to take policy and technical actions to improve the field-worthy modern equipment, human resources expertise, and capabilities to permit the United States to fulfill the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty and Threshold Test Ban Treaty verification responsibilities. The Department of Energy has developed and evaluated hydrodynamic yield measurements Continuous Reflectometry for Radius versus Time Experiment (CORRTEX), as a primary verification technique. Experiments were conducted in fiscal year 1988 and will continue in fiscal years 1989, 1990, and 1991 with the goal of reducing onsite yield determination errors. CORRTEX will be deployed with a complementary local seismic network and a trained cadre for related Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty onsite verification activities. The Detection Technology program has also developed the expertise, capability, and equipment for a Joint Verification Experiment with the Soviets as proposed by the President in 1984 and conducted in FY 1988. The Verification and Control Technology satellite instrumentation program provides the national capability to monitor the atmosphere and space for nuclear detonations. Department of Energy-produced satellite-borne sensors provide verification data in support of the Limited Test Ban Treaty. The Department of Energy satellite flight systems provide worldwide surveillance and intelligence monitoring of clandestine nuclear testing in the atmosphere, near earth, and in deep-space. The Department of Energy sensor systems constitute the Integrated Operational Nuclear Detonation Detection System currently deployed principally on Global Positioning System and Defense Support Program satellites. The Department of Energy maintains appropriate facilities, procedures, and documents to allow for proper design, procurement, integration, testing, and traceability, and, as needed, failure analysis and flight-quality repair of Department of Energy instrumentation. 313 # Seismic verification focuses on detecting, identifying, locating, and characterizing underground nuclear explosions, emphasizing regional rather than teleseismic monitoring. The incountry seismic program supports research and development of regional and local seismic verification capabilities. This ensures that the Department of Energy can provide equipment and systems to verify future nuclear testing treaties. The Norwegian Regional Seismic Array and the Deployable Seismic Verification System are examples of regional seismic systems. The seismic verification goal is to reduce the error range through the use of additional regional arrays in support of the Administration's policies of verifying the Threshold Test Ban Treaty. The Department of Energy will complete fabrication of the initial complement of five Deployable Seismic Verification System single-seismometer units in FY 1989. Sample and debris detection and analysis activities supplement other verification efforts and support measures for monitoring special nuclear material production. Detecting and identifying debris is instrumental in locating and characterizing nuclear-related activities and constitutes the "smoking gun" of clandestine nuclear testing. This is an area of increasing concern in the current environment of third-world powers potentially developing nuclear capabilities. Activities in this area include improving current effluent monitoring and analysis capabilities with the aim of improving selectivity and sensitivity. The nonseismic monitoring program includes research and development of detection systems using technologies other than satellite or seismic means. Other technical means of detecting nuclear tests require further investigation due to the vast area of the Soviet Union with its large, naturally seismic regions and the potential of "spoofing" scenarios. Ground-based and space-based directed energy weapons are of increasing interest to the United States. The United States has embarked on an intensive directed energy weapons development program. The Soviet Union is conducting research and development along similar lines. The Detection Technology program is conducting research on verification capabilities in the event of a directed energy treaty. Activities are a result of the need for information on experimental and/or operational systems employing strategic defense initiative type systems. The goal is to characterize all directed energy weapons systems. Sensors, systems, and data handling, processing, and analysis capabilities will be developed. The goal of technology development activities is to ensure that verification techniques are advanced by investigating advanced concepts, determining feasibility, and revisiting known scientific principles. Successful projects evolve from advanced concepts and are used in specific applications. The Radiation Detection Technology activities focus on the development of hardware and analytical tools that will meet the needs for locating, identifying, and characterizing nuclear source materials by their radiation signatures. The scope of Radiation Detection Technology includes exploratory research to uncover and advance new detection principles or concepts as well as the development of special devices for use in verification. $14 É Detection Technology A.

Responsibilities are fixed by statute, applicable rules, directives, Executive Orders, and international treaties or understandings. Analytical support consists of studies and analyses supporting the implementation of the Administration's arms control policies communicated in National Security Decision Directives and treaty negotiation instructions. This program provides for direct technical and analytical support to interagency policy deliberations, United States-Soviet arms control negotiations, Nuclear Test Talks, the United Nations Conference on Disarmament and its Group of Scientific Experts, the Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference and Preparatory Committee meetings, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Disarmament, and internal the Department of Energy policy formulation. Objectives include providing continuing support to interagency/international policy deliberations and negotiations, analyzing Treaty impacts on Department of Energy, providing Department of Energy programmatic support for improving arms control techniques and approaches, and maintaining capabilities of providing technical support in the arms control area. Recent events have dramatically increased the Department of Energy's responsibilities. Commensurate funding increases were reflected in the FY 1988 reprogramming for negotiation support (primarily Geneva Nuclear Test Talks), conduct of sensitive facility surveys, and a limited mock Strategic Arms Reduction Talks suspect site inspection at a Department of Energy weapon production facility. The United States has committed itself to beginning step-by-step negotiations with the Soviets on nuclear testing limitations. The Department of Energy has increased its participation in the three areas of those talks: Strategic Arms Reduction Talks, intermediate-Range Arms Talks, and Defense and Space. The link between reductions in weapons and additional limits on testing; the effect of reductions on the requirements for special nuclear materials and weapons production; related issues pertaining to weapon dismantlement, special nuclear meterial limit and disposition; and the effect of intensive verification schemes on the Department of Energy's ability to protect national security information at its facilities are of particular interest. Program Operations provides technical support services, studies, and analyses in test ban verification, arms control, national security assessments, and verification technology development. The Department of Energy Headquarters manages intelligence policy, channels tasks to field organizations, monitors performance, and coordinates both Headquarters and field organizations efforts. The field organizations are the Department of Energy laboratories, especially the nuclear weapons laboratories, and other Department of Energy facilities. The objectives of the intelligence program are to: maintain capability in energy intelligence, nuclear weapons intelligence, and nuclear proliferation; provide timely assessments of actual or potential threats to the Department of Energy interests; and maintain the capability to support Intelligence Community requests for special projects and analyses. : Analytical Support A.

As verification requirements increase in scale and sensitivity, research, development, and production of verification systems requires increasingly sophisticated and technically complex design and testing equipment. These needs are reflected in this request for capital equipment. Capital equipment funds are used to upgrade existing laboratory equipment, procure arid enhance computer software/hardware systems, update and modernize accessories to existing laboratory equipment, and support the development and production of incountry treaty verification. Much of the equipment required consists of small-scale bench test devices such as oscilloscopes and electronic calibration equipment, support devices such as a spectrum analyzer and high-quality charge couple devices for directed energy weapons detection research, and multi channel analyzers and several wide-band oscilloscopes for satellite instrumentation development. Larger-scale equipment, however, also must be enhanced, replaced, or procured. Such examples include general f". computers, computer-aided engineering and design workstations, and thermal-vacuum chamber upgrade equipment. Such capital equipment is essential if the Department of Energy laboratories are to maintain a sound basis for technology development and support Department of Energy's treaty verification and intelligence support commitments.

The mission also includes providing technical support to international activities designed to minimize the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The Classification and Technology Policy program identifies classified and unclassified sensitive information critical to the national security, to control nuclear energy-related exports, and to promote the transfer of nonsensitive Defense Programs funded technology to the private sector in accordance with appropriate statutory requirements and the Department of Energy regulations. Major objectives for safeguards and security over the next five years include the following areas: 1. Balance the Nuclear Safeguards and Security program between physical security measures and programs designed and operated to protect against both external and internal threats with increased emphasis on the insider threat. 2. Implement classified document/material control improvements. 3. Continue emphasis on technology upgrades in the material control and accounting area. 4. Increase emphasis on needed computer security enhancement activities. 5. Preserve the essential technology base for domestic and international safeguards and security. 6. Strengthen the personnel security/clearance program. 7. Develop and implement policy and guidance for the identification of classified and unclassified sensitive information and for the control of nuclear related exports for the Department. 8. Establish a Defense Programs technology commercialization program to promote the transfer of nonsensitive Department of Energy funded technology to the private sector. The FY 1990/1991 budget continues a shift in emphasis from large-scale hardening and protection against outsider adversary intrusion to a more balanced program that strengthens protection against insider threats. Continuing Nuclear Safeguards and Security program emphasis includes: (1) reducing the direct field funding for safeguards and security projects and operating costs; (2) an increased emphasis on a user-need based approach for technology development applicable to multiple facilities to reduce overall risks and help control implementation costs; (3) increased oversight of and staff assistance for field operations through Master Safeguards and Security Agreements and performance requirements in supporting the Department of Energy Orders; (4) a strengthened personnel security program for the Department that includes a streamlined and improved clearance process; (5) a personnel security assurance program for employees working in critical positions; (6) a coherent security awareness and protection plan against unauthorized actions within the defense complex; (7) categorizing sensitive uncontrol led Department of Energy developed technology subject to export controls; and (8) identifying publicly releasable Department of Energy developed technology having potential commercial application. 341 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDCET REQUEST ATOM IC ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V | T | ES (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE NUCLEAR SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY FY 1990 Trogram Change FY 1988 FY 1989 #### vs Base FY 1991 Activity Actual Appropriation Base Request ors ercent Request Safeguards and Security Operational Support $28,805 a/ $29,611 a/ $29,611 $30,677 +1,066 +4 $31,339 Technology and Systems Development 28,450 28,876 28,876 28,498 -378 -1 29,353 International . 5,245 b/ c/ 5,402 b/ c/ 5,402 5,515 +1 13 +2 5,680 Classification and Technology Policy 2,500 d/ - 2,575 d/ T 2,575 8,077 +5,502 +21 & 8,737 Program Direction 8,200 st 8,936 = 8,936 9,474 +538 +6 9,758 Capital Equipment * 1600 4,800 4.800 5A967 +167 +3 5,116 Total $77,800 $80,200 $80,200 $87,208 +7,008 +9 $89,983 Operating Expenses 73,200 $75,400 $75,400 $82,241 +6,841 +9 $84,867 Capital Equipment * , 4,800 º 8,967 +167 _*3. 5,116 Total $77,800 $80,200 $80,200 $87,208 +7,008 $89,983 STAFFING (full-time eqívalents) Headquarters 1 l;5 1 l;0 1 tº 0 139 139 New Brunswick Laboratory _49 _49 _89 _49 _89 Total Staffing (full-time equivalents) 19t; 189 189 188 188 Does not reflect transfer of $259,000 in FY 1988 and $271,000 in FY 1989 to Weapons Program Direction for consolidation of Headquarters contractual support activities germane to all program offices.

This office provides for the !"...ſi: development, and execution of program strategy and overall program management and assures that the highest applicable standards for safety, quality, environmental and performance factors are incorporated in the design and construction of new production reactor capacity. ONPR and the Nuclear Materials Production (NMP) program have distinct, but complimentary, responsibilities. ONPR is responsible for the broad range of activities to bring new production reactor capacity on-line; NMP will operate the new production reactors following construction. Program Requirements Long-range plans for the production of nuclear materials are based on the need to replace presently aging production reactor capacity. New production reactor capacity is required to produce an assured supply of nuclear materials, primarily tritium, to maintain the Nation's nuclear deterrent capability. Nuclear reactors are the only proven and practical means of producing tritium, which is an essential component for current and future nuclear weapons. Continuous tritium production capability is required due to the 5.5 percent annual decrease in tritium caused by radioactive decay. Projected tritium production requirements cannot be met reliably with existing production reactor facilities located at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) where the over 30-year old production reactors are experiencing j effects that severely reduce their operational reliability. The reliability of the SRP reactors to meet tritium requirements is expected to continue to degrade during the approximate 10-year time period required to provide new production reactor capacity. The proposed strategy to bring new production reactor capacity on-line is to proceed on an urgent schedule with preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement #sº concurrent with R&D and project design activities tailored to the status of each technology. This strategy allows construction to proceed as soon as possible once the Record of Decision (ROD) for the EIS has been issued. Two [...”. reactor technologies and sites have been recommended, a Heavy Water Reactor (HWR) at the Savannah River Plant and a dular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHGTR) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Development and project design activities will be tailored to maintain the preferred reactor technologies on the same schedules for start of construction. As a contigency, and to §. the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, tritium target development activities and resolution of institutional issues associated with the acquisition at the WNP-1 reactor at the Hanford site also will be pursued. The recommendation regarding preferred technologies and sites is based on: (1) an assessment of candidate technologies made by the Energy Research Advisory Board; (2) an evaluation of candidate Department of Energy sites conducted by the Site Evaluation Team; (3) an evaluation of comparative costs by the NPR Capacity Cost Evaluation Team; and (4) consultations made with key agencies within the Administration. A final decision on new production reactor capacity technologies and sites will be made after completion of an EIS as required by the NEPA. § Safety, quality, environmental, and performance factors are primary considerations in the design, construction, startup, and operation of new production reactor capacity. New production reactor capacity will : * º: a level of safety that meets or exceeds that afforded to the public by 1 ſcensed commercial nuclear power plants. - provide assurance of the requisite quality in all activities. - meet or exceed the applicable federal, state, and local regulations and requirements relating to environment, safety, and health. - provide a level of plant performance and operational reliability which assures production of goal quantities of tritium. The requested funding reflects the Department's requirement to bring new production reactor capacity on-line on an urgent schedule. Summary Funding in recent years has been at a level sufficient for studies and some development work. However, the requested FY 1990 and FY 1991 funding levels are essential to support the broad range of activities necessary to bring new production reactor capacity on-line under an urgent schedule. Increases are required in FY 1990 and FY 1991 to support: - Compliance with NEPA, which includes the preparation of an EIS. - Development of the saftey review process. - Technical vigilance through "hands on" Federal management of all aspects of NPR activities. - Reactor technology development, including the development of safety and design criteria. - Tritium target development. - Conceptual designs, including design activities performed in support of both the NEPA process and safety analysis. - Initiation of long-lead material procurement. The funding profiles support all necessary near-term activities to begin construction of the selected technologies as soon as possible after the Record of Decision and establishes a corresponding balance in the level of design detail between the various technologies and sites as follows: - For the HWR, activities related to technology development, conceptual design, and site independent definitive design will be pursued on an expedited basis to provide information necessary for the NEPA process, and to support initiation of construction as soon as possible after the R00 for the EIS has been issued; - For the MHTGR, activities related to .# development, tritium target development, conceptual design, and site independent definitive design will be pursued on an expedited basis to provide the information necessary for the NEPA process, and to support initiation of construction as soon as possible after the ROD for the EIS has been issued; and - For the LWR, the design is currently well developed, "..."; activities related to: (1) resolution of institutional issues :* with the acquisition of the WNP-1 reactor, an tritium target development work for the WNP-1 reactor will be pursued. § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES (tabular dollars in thousands/narrative in whole dollars) LEAD TABLE MEW PRODUCTION REACTORS FY 1990 PFOgFaſTChange FY 1988 FY 1989 Request vs. Base FY 1991 Actual Appropriation Base Request Change Percent Request New Production Reactors Support $ 10,000 $ 60,000 aſ $ 60,000 $203,500 $143,200 +237 $134,000 Construction 10,000 0 aſ O 100,000 100,000 b/ 270,000 Total, - New Production Reactors $ 20,000 $ 60,000 $ 60,000 $303,500 $243,200 +403 $404,000 Staffing (FTE's) 0 5 5 5 184 37T535TTTTTOTOf funds reprogrammed from capital to operating expense in FY 1989. b/ Unable to calculate.

Preface: New Production Reactor Program -- Construction The construction program will provide for the design and construction of new production reactor capacity to produce nuclear materials, primarily tritium, to maintain the Nation's nuclear deterrent. New production reactor capacity will be used to irradiate fabricated fuel and target elements to produce nuclear materials which are recovered from the irradiated elements in processing facilities. The ..". recommended strat for providing new production reactor capacity is based on two preferred reactor technologies and sites as follows: (1) a Heavy Water Reactor (HWR) at the Savannah River Plant, South Carolina, capable of providing 100 percent of the goal quantity tritium requirement; and (2) a Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR) plant at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), Idaho, capable of providing 50 percent of the goal quantity tritium requirement, with supporting facilities to provide fuel and target fabrication, spent fuel processing, and tritium recovery. A final decision on new production reactor capacity technologies and sites will be made after completion of an Environmental Impact Statement as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The HMR is a single low-pressure and low-temperature reactor with fuel and target elements in a heavy water cooled and moderated core. The MHTGR is a high-temperature multi-module reactor with helium-cooled, graphite-reflected annular cores formed from prismatic fuel and target elements. § II, A.

É : OEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOM I C ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V | T | ES OWERW J EW NAVAL REACTORS DEVELOPMENT The Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program is carried out joint \ y by the Departments of Energy and Navy. The Program's objective is twofold: to provide the Navy with effective nuclear propulsion plants and to ensure their continued safe and re I labſe operation. The Program is responsible for a aspects of nuclear propulsion. Continuity of responsibility from the design of a plant through operation and eventual disposal is a hel (mark of this Program and is a significant factor in the ongoing success of naval nuclear propulsion. Nuclear propulsion plants currently power over 40% of the Navy's combatant vessels. The mi I (tary presence projected by these ships is far greater than their numbers would suggest. Nuclear power eliminates the need for refuel ing support at ses, thus a low ing nuclear-powered surface ships to spend considerably more time on station than their fossi l-fueled counterparts. The abi i ify of our submarines to carry out their strategic deterrent and tactical combatant roles is directly dependent on nuclear power. The Soviets are mindful of the qual ltative advantages our nuclear powered ships enjoy over theirs, and in recent years have taken substant i e i steps to ſessen the advantages. They have committed vast and diverse resources to modern lz ing and improving the effect I veness of their submarine force. Their efforts have resulted in improved submarine classes which are highly capable and represent a significant reduction in the technological gap between their submarines and ours. The Soviets are not resting on the l r ſ aure! s. They continue to run a large, aggressive program of nuclear propulsion technology development. An integrated, sophisticated, and far-sighted development program is necessary to ensure the continued superiority of U.S. naval nuclear propulsion plants. As nuclear propulsion evolves, performance gains become exponent is y harder to achieve. Key thrusts of the Naval Reactors Development budget are operating plant improvement and development of better components and systems for the plants, Advanced Fleet Reactor development for the new attack submarine under development by the Navy, and long term nuclear propu is ſon technology development. These thrusts form the framework of a broad, we 1-integrated program, where work performed in one technical discipline supports and, at the same time, depends on work done in others. Nuclear propulsion development is a lengthy process due to the nature of nuclear energy. Radiation is an inherent aspect of nuclear work, dictating a carefuſ, measured approach to developing nuclear propulsion plants and their constituent components and systems. In this environment, the concern for quality and safety must be paramount. Infricate engineering chal lenges, time to manufacture the complex and massive components, and necessary test i ng require a number of years between in it i at ion of a development effort and the introduction into the fleet. Careful monitoring and assessment of existing plant operations is also necessary to ensure continued safe performance and to permit feedback of operational lessons into new design efforts. § Top priority is given to ensuring the viability of the operating nuclear powered fleet. These ships collectively represent a $100 b i ! ! Ion Investment in today's do! I ars and are a key element in the Nation's defense. The Soviets have introduced a number of attack submarine classes since the first unit of our latest design, the LOS ANGELES class, went to sea in the mid-1970's. The U.S. does not have the luxury of frequently introducing new classes of ships. Consequent | y, applying improved state-of- the-art features to operating ships is a critical factor in malntaining our qual it at ive advantage. Operating plant improvement and development involves: monitoring the performance of systems, components, and materia is in the fleet; analyzing and evaluating the results; investigating discrepancies and applying lessons learned to development efforts; and backfitting the results of new developments into operating plants. The Program continuously updates plant performance analyses and refines operating parameters. While extensive testing is required for fleet introduction, complete verification is achieved only through lifetime operation in a prototype plant. This can take several decades. To ensure our future defense, the fleet's capability also must be enhanced through the introduction of new ships such as the SSN-21 Class attack submarine. The SSN-21 -- with its Advanced Fleet Reactor (AFR) -- is intended to mainfa in our qual j fative technological advantage well into the next century. The AFR will encompass long term developments now coming to fruit ion and will deliver more power, more quietly, than any previous submarine reactor -- and wit I do so without a commensurate increase in size or weight. The performance improvements hinge not only on advances in the reactor but in new plant components and systems as wel I. Improved steam generators and other heat and fluid transfer equipment w iſ I increase plant efficiency, thus 6 low ing a higher percentage of total generated reactor power to leave the plant as useful propulsive horsepower. Development of the Advanced Fleet Reactor is proceeding we l l ; all major test components are now in fabrication. Advanced Fleet Reactor component and system designs will be tested and qualified. Major components w i ! I be assembled to mockup a plant -- testing this mockup will verify that our newest design is effective. Instal lation and operation of a prototype reactor w i ! occur several years ahead of fleet introduction to ensure the reactor performs properly. Test ing w iſ I continue over the reactor - Hetime and will provide data on performance that can be applied to the younger shipboard plants. The Advanced Fleet Reactor is based on technology developed through the early-1980's. Long term development efforts continue to expand the technology base and yield capabi I it les beyond the Advanced Fleet Reactor's expected performance. The Program is pursuing new structural materials, fuel and poison concepts, plant arrangements, core configurations, manufacturing processes, plant and facility monitoring and control devices, and heat and fluid exchange methods. Features sought are enhanced power, longer life, decreased weight, increased structural integrity and resil ience, reduced corrosion, and improved safety and ease of operation. § Efforts in basic technologies such as materials behavior, thermal hydraulics, manufacturing and chemical processes, noise transmission, nuclear physics, and design analysis methods provide the base for nuclear propulsion plant component and system development. They drive the evolution of component and system designs, and define what can be achieved in a propulsſon plant. These same efforts are also instrumental to verifying and enhancing existing designs, establishing operating parameters for new designs, and ensuring continued safe plant and facility operation. Through thought ful development efforts, the Program has been able to maintain a qualitative advantage over a potential adversaries in naval nuclear propulsion technology. This advantage has been maintained in the face of increasing requirements to support a larger nuclear-powered fleet whose average ship age has trip led in the last fifteen years.

C ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V | T | ES (Do I lars in thousands) KEY ACT | V | T | ES SUMMARY NAVAL REACTORS DEVELOPMENT | . Preface: Reactor Development The intent of Reactor Development is to achieve higher power density reactors with greater endurance and to improve the capa- bi ity and reliability of current reactors. Uppermost is assurance of safe operation for a the Program's reactors. The demands placed upon the Navy's nuclear powered ships, especial Iy the nuclear submarine fleet, will continue to increase as potent la I adversaries resolutely continue their nuclear propulsion programs. Continuing the evolution of reactor design is an important key to enhancing overa i I plant performance. Recognition must be given to the greater technological effort required to achieve each new advance. Achieving higher power and endurance capabilities in a naval reactor requires the development of advanced fuel, poison, ci adding and other core materials. Materia is are sought and developed which mainta in their structura ; and dimensional integrity over long periods of time in the harsh reactor environment, as we l l as exhibit desirable nuclear properties. Manufacturing processes for materials, components and systems are also necessary for advanced core development. For instance, more consistent manufacturing processes reduce design uncerts inty and at tow designers greater flexibility. Sophisticated analytic and model | Ing techniques, substant iated through experimentation and test ing, are the tools used by the nuclear and reactor designers to explore ways to use that flexibility in advanced reactor and reactor core designs. Manufacturing and design concepts are factored into developmental cores for lifetime festing under operational cond if ions. After a I fetime of prototypic testing the expended cores are examined and their performance evaluated thus providing valuable feedback to the various development efforts. Reactor Development work involves five areas: Core Examination; Materia Is Development; Nuclear Design and Analysis; Reactor Technology; and Reactor Process Development. Core Examination work includes the examination of expended shipboard and prototype cores and irradiated test specimens from the Advanced Test Reactor. This in formation provides comparisons between predicted and actual core material behavior thus providing feedback and direction to ongoing material development work. § Materials Development work involves developing and qualifying high integrity nuclear fuel, poison, cladding and structural mater i als suitable for app ſ ication in advanced nava I reactor cores and viable for manufacture. Materials development work focuses on develop l ng mater a s capable of mainta | n | ng the [r structural and mechan 1cal Integrity over long periods of time in a harsh operating reactor environment as well as providing design options due to improved physical or nuclear character I stics. An integral part of this effort is the parallel development of manufacturing processes to ensure mater I aſ s can be economical ly produced to stringent specifications in large quant it i es. Materia is and material test specimens are fabricated, using prototypic manufacturing processes, and rigorously tested for desired characteristics. Irradiation testing conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor is a key to this confirmet ion process. Materials exhibiting the desired characteristics are eventual I y committed to long-term tests in prototype cores and associated components. Work in FY 1990/1991 will be a continuation of FY 1989 efforts adjusted for in f l at ion, as well as evaluations of alternate plant materia [ s and expanded Advanced Test Reactor safety review and analysis work, and component procurement for the next ATR core internals change out. Nuclear Design and Analysis work involves reactor physics development and nuclear design of advanced reactor cores. This work aims at designing nuclear cores which take advantage of the advances in nuclear physics, materials and manufacturing capabilities with the objective of a core that assures efficient use of fuel and minimizes adverse materia I cond it ions in the reactor. Physics effort involves experimentation, test ing of operating plants and physics design, analysis and model ling development. Work in this category also includes analysis and design work aimed at ensuring safe operation of the reactor plants and fuel hand l l ng solutions. Safety and pet formance analyses are conducted to ensure reactor plants are operated safely while reactor plant shielding design and evaluation work aims at developing more effective shield designs whº le minimizing shielding weight and size. In addition, controls are developed and implemented for the safe handling, storage, processing and safeguarding of fissile material. FY 1990/1991 funding requirements reflect escalation, and expanded safety and performance analysis, including methods development and experimentation. Reactor Technology is directed to designing and developing advanced reactors having higher power, longer life and increased reliability. Work in this area is an integrated design effort seeking to optimize the performance of a I reactor components on an individual basis as well as in an overa i ! system. These components include the core, support structures, pressure vessel, closure head, core barrel assembly and control rod drive mechanisms. Test i ng and analysis in the areas of thermal hydraulics, structural mechanics, corrosion, fatigue, shock, and vibration are essent ial to understanding the trade-offs made between design choices. Computer model 1 ing and analysis programs are indispensable to developing this understanding. Prom is ing component designs are fabricated and tested individual ly, in integrated test assemblies, and as necessary, prototypical Iy in 8 land-based prototype. É Reactor Process Development work focuses on developing test cores and manufacturing and assembly processes which efficient ſy and consistently produce naval reactor fuel, cores and associated components of the necessary quality for operation in naval reactor plants. Better manufacturing techniques and quality control techniques are of ten necessary to realize the performance gains promised by advanced designs and also contribute by reducing uncertainty in the quality and physical characteristics of reactor materials and systems. Fuel modules and associated advanced components are assembled into developmental cores. Full- scale operational testing provides final confirmation of manufacturing and assembly process acceptability. Reduced requirements in FY 1990 reflect a decrease in the level of Advanced Fleet Reactor work, partial Iy of f set by sqvanced reactor development work, which a long with escalation, accounts for the increase in FY 1991. § | | .

Preface: Plant Development Plant Development focuses on improving performance and longevity of the entire reactor plant by Integrating new technologies info developmental systems and components. Advanced reactors a lone cannot provide the enhanced performance and life expectancies needed in future nuclear-powered ships -- greater power, reduced noise, reduced plant weights, and longer life require an integrated effort to improve a l l aspects of a reactor plant. Component development efforts are aimed at enhancing individual component performance; plant arrangement studies seek to reduce weight and enhance efficiency while optimizing space usage; and generic chemistry and materia is technology work supports exist l ng and advanced plant concepts. New features are proven in laboratory tests and verified under specific operating parameters af the prototype plants. Back fitting improved components and systems can also add to the performance and operational effectiveness of exist ing plants. Plant Development has two subcategories: Materials, Chemistry, and Support ing Development, and Plant Technology. Materials, Chemistry and Supporting Development work includes developing technology to operate and monitor plants and facil it ics, verify the performance characteristics of operating plants and improve the performance of future plants. Materials development efforts include investigating corrosion, fat igue and structural characteristics in operating environments, and applying results to mater i at verification, qual if i cation and development. Chemistry efforts include examining cool ant corrosion tendencies and developing new water chemistries and primary plant cleaning techniques. Quality control activities, fac i t . ty monitoring and decontamination ensure safe working environments and a low facility reuse. Much of Mater I als, Chemistry and Supporting Development work is of an ongoing nature. FY 1990/1991 funding requirements include continuing FY 1989 efforts and adjustments for inflation. Plant Technology work focuses on verifying operating characteristics of existing plants, developing components with enhanced capabilities, and developing and integrating improved plant components in plants to maximize overal efficiency and performance. Development, testing and evaluation of new plant arrangements and configurations using improved heat and fluid transfer components will provide sma I ler, quieter, and more powerful plants for future naval vessels. Developmental plants will use state-of-the-art instrumentation and control equipment to provide operators with the highest levels of control and monitoring abi i ty. Aſ new features are tested in operating environments to confirm performance improvements and fleet applicabi ify. FY 1990/1991 requirements include continuing long-term plant component efforts, adjustments for inflation and an increase in steam generator development work. : | | . A.

Preface: Reactor Operation and Evaluation Reactor Operation and Evaluation provides for the operation and service of eight land-based prototype naval nuclear propulsion plants. The prototypes are used to test cores, components, materials, and systems and to tra in Navy personnel as reactor plant operators. Prototype festing in an actual operating environment is essential to confirm new designs developed in the | aboratories and to discover and resolve any potent is problems, thus avoiding interference with fleet activities. The decreases shown in this category are due to winding down of the MARF and S6C prototype refuel ings and overhau is. Reactor Operation and Evaluation is broken down into three categories: Reactor Servicing and Refuel ing; Reactor Engineering and Ana Iysis; and Reactor Operation and Test ing. Reactor Servicing and Refuel ing involves major prototype plant overhauls, refuel ings, component examinations, and component remova is and replacements. This work includes developing the technology and capability to perform at I reactor servicing functions necessary to ensure the safe operation of the prototype plants. The decreases noted in FY 1990 and FY 1991 reflect the winding down of major servicings of the MARF and S8G prototypes. Reactor Engineering and Analysis covers analyses of prototype core mechanica designs, reactor equipment, nuclear and thermal performance, and plant operations to ensure the reactor plants can operate safely and reliably with in design specifications. This category includes the thermal -hydraulic and acceptance test ing effort for the Advanced Fleet Reactor to ensure sat is factory performance. Reactor Operation and Test ing provides for the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and associated test i ng of prototype reactor plants. These plants are operated as if they were shipboard plants to obtain desired reactor core and component data and to tra in Navy reactor plant operators. The prototype plants average 25 years in age. To preserve them, the frequency of periodic shutdowns for maintenance and minor modifications has been increasing. This, coup led with the portion of the overhauls performed by the plant crews, has required additional personnel, supplies, and equipment. This growing burden caused the increases noted from 1988 to 1990. However, this routine maintenance effort w i ! I begin to decrease in 1991 with the inactivation of the S1 W prototype. 4. 4 1 ſº | | . A.

The treatment system will draw air through the ATR primary cool ant system degassing tank, process the air, monitor the effluents for radioactivity and discharge the effluents directly through the existing ATR stack. The system will be designed to meet accident and emergency conditions without the release of radioactive eff ; uents to the atmosphere. º (b) The ATR, at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, provides a nuclear environment for the testing of materials used in Navel nuclear propulsion plants. No method currently exists at the ATR for monitoring and control | Ing building leakage or radioactive release rate in the event of an accident. During accident conditions, the modifications included in this project would mainfa in the reactor building at negative pressure to prevent the uncontrol led release of radioactivity, reduce the exposure of ATR personnel, and enhance evacuation and accident recovery. The modifications will also allow at least a factor of 10 reduction in released radioactivity during normal ATR operating conditions. (c) In FY 1990 a design contract wi be placed for the modifications and design work will begin. Design will continue into FY 1991, when equipment procurements wi i ! commence to support ſ Y 1992 construction. 461 § | W.

The Facility, will consist of autocle's (b) stations and steam generator test loops and will be located in the existing Experiments' Engineering Laboratory. The steam generator test loops will be capable of independant operation. The primary system of each loop will consist of a gas fired preheater, piping, pressurizer and pump. The system will provide pressurized hot water that w I I I be the source of power for the secondary system. The secondary system of each loop will consist of steam generator test vessels, piping, pumps, weter chemistry control and injection systems, regenerative heat exchangers and a condenser. Both systems will be designed fur high pressure and temperature operations. Autoclave systems and related support equipment will be relocated from another existing building to establish a comprehensive test facility. The faci I Ity will support lighter, more compact and reliable heat transfer technology. The steam generator concepts under development require extensive meteria is corrosion, secondary water chemistry, heat transfer, and hydraulic test ing. Since these test programs will be complex and affected by many parameters, test facil it i es that permit prototypical simulation of the actual steam generator design and operating conditions are needed to minimize test uncerts inties. The Heat Transfer Test Facility will meet these test ing needs and will be the only large scale facility suitable for materials corrosion and water chemistry testing of scale test assemblies. The autoctave stations w iſ be used to study the effects of reactor cool ants. The tests will cover the chemical reactions of the cool ant with the plant mate i als, and the effects of the corrosion products produced by these chemical reactions. 463 § (c) In FY 1990, long-lead material procurements will continue and building renovat ſons for the facility will be performed. In FY 1991 equipment wi be instal led into the newly renovated spaces. § .

Narrative: (8) (b) (c) This project upgrades systems critical to the safety of the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Existing safety features will be enhanced by providing operators improved control and d; agnostic capabi I it ics to evaluate plant conditions; augment ing the operator's ability to respond to low probability accidents; and modifying experimental loop piping to better withstand earthquake conditions. Specifical ly, this project provides for the replacement, refurbishment and addition of systems in the ATR process control room, upgrades to radiation monitoring and detection systems; addition of a remote gas and liquid vent and sample system; and seismic modifications to ATR experimental loop piping systems. The safe operation of the ATR requires operators have reliable, timeſ y and accurate information on plant status as we as adequate capability to control plant processes. Existing reactor process control room instruments and monitoring equipment are over 20 years old and increasingly require repair, adjustment, and ca I ibration. The deteriorating cond it ion of the equipment is evidenced by the maintenance labor costs which have been increasing at a 101 rate over the past few years. The modifications and improvements will reduce operating costs, upgrade faci it i es, increase overal plant reliability, improve response to abnormal and low probability events, and provide a significant extension to plant and equipment lifetime. In FY 1990, a equipment procurements and test loop modifications will be completed. 465 # OEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990/FY 1991 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ATOM (C ENERGY DEFENSE ACT | V | T | ES (Dol lars in Thousands) KEY ACT | V | TY CONSTRUCT ON PROJECT SUMMARY NAVAL REACTORS DEVELOPMENT B.

FY 1988 Completion Date: 4th Qtr. FY 1991 2. Financial Schedule: 3. Narraf i ve: (a) The Expended Core Facility (ECF) Receiving Station will consist of a shipping container unloading and maintenance area. The shipping containers are used to send expended nuclear fuel from shipyards to ECF. The new area will provide for unloading of the expended nuclear fuel, maintenance and reuse preparation of container and railcar, and inspect ion and modification of container internals to facilitate shipment of a variety of naval cores. The area will process two shipp l ng containers concurrently. It will be designed for a 40-year life, and be built of structural steel on a concrete base. The project will include: extension of the existing building to provide space and access by the existing overhead cranes, rail and truck bay service, due container receiving and unloading structure, air handling system, semi automated inspection and maintenance areas, glove box enclosures, computer system and controls, underwater fuel receipt, inspection, and queuing area, and a auxiliary and utility features required for operating efficiency and safety. § (b) (c) The purpose of this project is to establish a dedicated receiving area at ECF to accomodate the increase in nuclear fleet refuel ings. ECF must be able to turn around shipping containers promptly to support fleet refuel ing schedules. An inability to do so would de lay nuclear powered warship refuel ings and, thus, fleet operations. Completion of the dedicated receiving station wil ( : a. Provide the capacity needed to receive and unload expended fuel shipping contal ners to support the increase in work load and minimize the number of required expensive shipping containers. b. Improve work efficiency by a factor of two (about a 50 percent savings per shipping contal ner) so that the increase in expended fuel receipts can be accomodated with a small increase in personnel . c. Provide self-contained and remote servicing, Inspection and maintenance facilities to reduce the time spent in radiological environments and reduce the possibility of personne i contami nation. In FY 1990, construction of the building addition and fuel receiving station will be completed and equipment will be instal led in the receivſng station and in the waterp it. In FY 1991 a l l systems will be qual fied, personnel will be trained and the rec leving station will become operational. à DOE/MA-0358 Volume 2 of 4 Assistant Secretary, Management and Administration Office of the Controller Washington D.C. 20585 January 1989 Energy Supply Research and Development Nuclear Waste Fund Isotope Production and Distribution Fund Volume 2 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Fiscal YEAR 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NUCLEAR WASTE FUND ISOTOPE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION FUND WOLUME 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary of Estimates by Appropriation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . we tº e º C tº ſº e º g º º 3 Summary of Staffing by Subcommittee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Summary of Staffing by Appropriation . . . . . & º º ºs º ºs e tº dº ſº e dº e º dº tº e º e º e º e º e º ſº tº 6 Energy Supply Research and Development . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . e e º e º 'º e º e º 'º 9 Nuclear Waste Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tº ſº tº º gº tº º e º ºs º º tº º ſº tº tº e º e 575 Isotope Production and Distribution Fund . . . . . . . . . * @ º º º & E sº tº e º º is tº º . . . . . 647 § Department of Energy Fiscal Year 1990 Congressional Budget Request Summary of Estimates by Appropriations Budget Authority In Thousands of Dollars Appropriations Before the Energy and Water Development Subcommittees: Energy Supply Research and Development . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Renewables contribute to energy security because they are indigenous, abundant, and not depletable. They are a source of energy stability because they offer a diversification of supply that can satisfy energy demands in all common forms of energy used by the American economy -- electricity, heat, and gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels. They can contribute to energy strength through the emergence and establishment of economically viable domestic industries. Continued research advancements in these technology-based energy supply options can be expected to stimulate and further enhance their competitiveness. The renewable energy technology can also contribute to accomplishing environmental objectives as they relate to energy production and use. For example, many of the renewable technologies (i.e., wind, PW, 0TEC, solar heat, etc.) entail no combustion process and therefore represent attractive alternatives to the combustion of carbon based fuels. Biofuels, due to its reliance on increased growth of biomass per acre, may represent a method for energy production technology which actually results in a net improvement in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The proposed Federal investment in renewable energy research and deveićpment is appropriate in light of the large contribution renewable technologies can make toward achieving these national energy-policy objectives. Internal DOE estimates indicate that renewable energy technologies’ contribution to U.S. energy production should increase from the present 9 percent of domestic energy production to 12 percent by 2000, and 14 percent by 2010. Currently, the single largest renewable energy supplier is biomass (direct combustion of wood). Likewise, combustion of municipal solid waste is emerging as a strong option for producing energy and addressing other disposal concerns. Other solar technologies have begun to make noticeable advances through private sector adoption of more viable technology options. Passive building technology is used to a significant extent, increasingly evident in new residential homes and multi-family and commercial buildings. Recent passive solar research developments such as optical switching films will make it possible to modulate the transmission of light and heat through building apertures, while other materials and systems will redirect natural light deep into building interiors. Approximately 1500 megawatts of wind energy capacity were on-line in the U.S. at the end of 1987. Research on photovoltaic cells has achieved significant cost reduction, has demonstrated efficiencies as high as 31 percent in some cell types, and in other cell types has improved reliability to the point where lifetimes of over 20 years are projected. Private sector systems development, 19 § production, and marketing have established photovoltaics and wind technologies as attractive options in the remote power market. With over 150 MWe of solar thermal electric systems now operational and an additional 400 MWe projected under utility contracts to come on line in the future, valuable performance and system verification data are becoming available. The bulk of the projected increases in future solar thermal capacity additions, however, will come from newer advanced technologies now under research. New reflective coatings with promising lifetime characteristics will permit the establishment of new heliostat and dish stretched membrane concepts with much lower cost potential than glass-metal systems. More efficient receivers for dish and central receiver systems and more reliable Stirling engines for dish systems also promise significant gains for solar systems. One of the most significant potential development areas for solar energy technologies is the electric power industry. DOE estimates that an increase in U.S. generating capacity of about 100 gigawatts or greater will be required by the year 2000, and additional capacity will be needed to replace retired plants. Meeting these needs will require expanding the Nation's generating capacity by roughly one-quarter in less than 15 years. The flexibility, diversity, and modularity of solar electric generating technologies make them excellent candidates for incremental capacity investments which can be tailored to utility generating needs over relatively short lead times. The integration of solar energy technologies into the utility grid is an important area of research in the photovoltaic, wind, and solar thermal technologies. A # Important opportunities also exist for solar-based energy supplies to meet requirements for industrial process heat, liquid and gaseous fuels, and the cooling, lighting, and heating of buildings. DOE estimates that solar energy technology could provide as much as 2.3 quads of energy to the industrial sector annually by the year 2000, and nearly 3.0 quads by 2010. Solar energy can be used either for direct replacement of heat-producing technologies or to provide on-site generation alternatives, through use of techniques such as gasification of biofuels feedstocks. Solar energy technologies also offer options for direct substitution for liquid and gaseous fuels in a manner that would diversify the supply mix with minimal disruption of distribution and utilization systems. Alcohol fuels could contribute 0.6 quad to the supply of petroleum-based substitutes by 2010, with alternatives such as pyrolysis oils and microalgae-based oils also potentially viable over the long-term. These alternatives hold great promise to provide a flexibility that would minimize reconfiguration of the energy supply system. Solar building technologies are increasingly capable of supplying energy required for heating, cooling and lighting, which accounts for more than one-third of total U.S. energy consumption. Solar energy contribution in the residential and commercial sectors is estimated to be l. 4 quads in the year 2000, and at least 1.8 quads in 2010 as new innovative materials and solar systems evolve through research. 20 à In order to realize their large potential contribution to the Nation's energy supply, solar energy technologies will have to be competitive in the energy market and be compatible with the existing supply system. The Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy Program is working toward the goal of producing a technology base upon which the private sector can build to provide the economy with a broader selection of competitive energy supplies. The current strategy of renewable energy programs is to concentrate Federal resources on scientific and engineering research to achieve a better understanding of the characteristics of renewable energy sources, of the technologies for collecting and converting these sources to useful forms, and of the general materials sciences to support industrial development of reliable and efficient systems. DOE’s research emphasizes fundamental and applied research and exploratory development that supply the scientific and technical basis for increasing cost-effective use of the renewable energy resource base and important crosscutting technologies for storage of energy and for reliable and efficient management of the electric energy supply network. The focus of such efforts is on those solar technologies with the greatest long-term promise for contribution to the Nation's energy supply mix. The goal is to advance technology while allowing industry the responsibility of developing specific commercial products and services. 21 ź Activity * * * * * * * * *m, as sº sº s sº as s ºs s = sº sºme º ºs ºs ºs as ºs sº sº sº am s = * * * * *s Solar Buildings Energy Systems Operating Expenses Capital Equipment e e º e g º e s g º e º ºs e º ºs e e DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE SOLAR ENERGY Program Change Subtotal Solar Buildings & & º is © tº e º e º & © tº $ Photovoltaic Energy Systems Operating Expenses Capital Equipment tº tº $ tº º e º ſº º tº e º ſº e º e º 'º Subtotal Photovoltaic vº º e º tº g tº º 'º º & © tº & © tº gº Solar Thermal Energy Operating Expenses Capital Equipment Systems & e g º e g g g g º ºs º dº & © & & © & Subtotal Solar Thermal tº € 6 tº º e º ºs e º e º ſº tº $ tº Biofuels Energy Systems Operating Expenses.... tº e º E tº e º tº e º 'º $ $ tº Capital Equipment Subtotal Biofuels. . tº º tº $ tº tº # * g e º & & © tº g tº º e e tº e º e º e º 'º e º is e s e º ºs e is Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 -------------------- Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollar Percent $5,200 l/ $5,365 $5,365 $4,055 - $1,310 –24% 150 0 150 150 100% 5,350 5,365 5,365 4,205 I, ISOT –22% 34,385 2/ 34,700 34,700 24,650 10,050 -29% 300 800 800 400 (400 -50% 34,685 35,500 35,500 25,050 10,450 -29% 16,775 3/ 14,700 14,700 13, 232 1,468 - 10% 88 300 300 150 150 -50% 16,863 15,000 15,000 13,382 1,618 - 11% 16,865 4/ 12,880 12,880 8,480 4,400 -34% 0 555 555 600 45 8% 16,865 13,435 13,435 9,080 4,355 22 –32% # Activity Wind Energy Systems Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition, some avenues of research involve more than one fuel cycle, such as activities to increase the available supply of biomass and for the preparation of wastes as feedstocks for conversion processes. Because the production of fuels from biomass depends on a plentiful supply of wood and herbaceous crops as feedstocks, research is continuing to increase both their yield and characteristics. Classical breeding and genetics techniques are being applied to increase the quantity of biofuels. Energy characteristics that effect conversion are being identified and modified by the application of biotechnology. The conversion technologies' research includes both thermal and biological routes to liquid and gaseous fuels. The thermochemical processes under investigation include liquefaction to produce biocrude oil for subsequent upgrading to gasoline by catalytic cracking and gas if ication and clean-up to provide synthes is gas for conversion to methanol. The biochemical processes directly produce liquid fuels such as ethanol or gases such as methane for conversion to methanol. Significant improvements have been made by the application of fundamental techniques, for example, a method to convert the sugars in hemicellulose to alcohol has been discovered, thus increasing alcohol production from wood by fifty percent. Other processes under research produce plant oils either by microalgae or from seeds which are upgraded to diesel fuel. A.

As field operational experience has accumulated on commercial machines over the past five years, it has become evident that major structural and fatigue problems remain to be resolved. Working with industry experts, the wind program will accelerate its basic science research in the fundamental processes that lead to these failures. Technology transfer activities and close coordination with industry remain as a fundamental strategy of the research program. A.

Turbulence- induced stresses are a key determinant of structural lifetime and fatigue, a critical problem for the industry. Based on hot f l lm wind measurements on a small vertical plane array, and other experimental data acquired in FY 1987, extend turbulence models to describe wind inflow to rotor in a stochastic form suitable for aero and structural researchers. Continue collection of turbulence data on selected industry-owned turbines. Initiate development of aerometeorology methods to relate turbulence and a trfoil pressure and structural stresses, as recommended by Energy Research Panel. Wakes research provides a better understanding of the physical mechanisms by which energy from the free stream is returned to the wake. Greater wake energy defic its require large intra-array spac l ng, a key industry issue. Existing models and observed data from Goodnoe Hills suggest an energy deficit of 10-20 percent at 7 to 10 diameters for large turbines under moderately complex terra in. Complete Turbulence is the principal source of fatigue loads and resulting stresses for any size wind turbine. Field evidence suggests that different scales of turbulence affect various turbines differently. Proposed FY 1989 activities relate to establishing significant turbulence predictive capability useful to machine designers. Recent analysis of windfarm performance data indicate that array performance losses due to wakes and micrositing result in 10 to 30% lost energy. Thus the area of wakes and performance remains an important element of the program. Planned FY 1989 activities build upon previous work in the cooperative research program, Federal research, and international activities to produce a validated micrositing tool to account for wake losses, wake turbulence, terrain-influence on flow, and climatology. 48 A complete description of the turbulence impact ing a rotor disk requires knowledge of the vertical stability, length of turbulent eddys in the mean wind direction, mean wind speed, and correlation of the eddys across the disk. When these parameters are known as a function of the climatology and specific site, a turbine designer can calculate the result ºng stresses that the machine will encounter. Proposed activities include analyses and field tests at several sites with representative characteristics that designers could use to characterize specific sites. Flow models are available that predict steady state wind speeds in areas of moderately complex terra in; however these models do not adequately predict wind direction, nor do they have capability to predict separated or turbulent flow. The existing models will be enhanced to improve the predictive capability for wind direction. Analyses of windfarm data have also demonstrated that the input turbulence and flow variations have significant spatial and temporal coherence, in that large eddys can be observed impact ing the turbine and even the entire array on a periodic basis. ſhe relatively new academic discipline of "chaos theory" will be applied to these phenomena to develop a better understanding of array and turbine performance and control. ; III. Wind Energy Systems (Cont'd) Activity/Subactivity FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Aerodynamics Research analyses of windfarm wake data from first round of cooperative research. Flow research provides an understanding of the influence of terra in on windflow to enable prediction of wind performance variations at different turbine locations and when locations will be excessively turbulent. FY 1988 activities will initiate upgrade for predicting terrain generated turbulence. $1,040 Aerodynamics research is aimed at improving the understanding of the basic physics of airfoils operation, low speed fluid flow mechanics and its interaction with wind energy conversion systems which must operate in the turbulent boundary layer of the atmosphere. This area has been studied extensively for aircraft, but much of that data is not applicable to wind turbines. Based on recommendations of an independent panel of experts for the Office of Energy Research, emphasis is placed on unsteady aerodynamics, particularly hysteresis effects of dynamic stall. New theories for visualizing flow fields, surface effects, micro-turbulence and airfoil augmentation mechanisms such as vortex generators will be developed, tested on subscale models in wind tunnels and later validated in cooperative field tests on commercial turbines. $1,000 Aerodynamics research is an important focus of the Wind Energy Basic Sciences thrust, for it is that process where the turbulent wind encounters the airfoil and produces unsteady pressures that are converted to useful mechanical work as well as fatigue-inducing damage. The effort follows the recommendations of the ER Aerodynamics panel in emphasizing the basic physics of the processes by improved understanding of unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelastics. Proposed FY 1989 activities extend our knowledge of aero theory through laboratory and field studies using the latest aerospace sensing technology. The results of the unsteady aerodynamics research, as well as observed problems with field data, will also be used to improve aerodynamics computer codes. The third area, cooperative research, is the principal external research vehicle for the program and will be continued. High priority is placed on taking advantage of windfarm data to expedite improved understanding of key processes and problems. 49 $900 Completion of analysis of blade pressure data from the combined experiment and other test turbines should provide considerable insight into the behavior of a wind turbine rotor operating in and out of stall. This should permit design of a “deep stall" experiment to investigate how to take advantage of the dominant properties of stall. Experiments will also be conducted in wind tunnels and in the field with liquid crystals and other flow visualization techniques to better understand the unsteady physics. Aerodynamic predictive computer codes for certain types of machines will be revised to reflect the resulting improved understanding of unsteady areodynamics, including yaw behavior. Cooperative research with industry has proven to be positive for both the Federal research program as well as private industry. It has provided rich and varied research data sets for wakes, aerodynamic performance, and structural response to turbulence loads for the Federal research program, and provided # III. Wind Energy Systems (Cont'd) Activity/Subactivity FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Structural Dynamics Research $2,400 Structural dynamics research will develop fundamental insights into structural responses to input loads. Unsteady wind loads have been shown to produce a more severe operational environment than was initially expected, resulting in premature failure of key system components such as the rotors. This improved understanding will be incorporated into integrated structural dynamics models that designers can use with greater confidence. A key activity will be the simultaneous measurement of structural loads, blade pressure distribution and wind inflow as part of the combined experiment. In addition, the distribution of air pressure along a blade and the harmonic components of resulting stresses in phase and magnitude will be measured on selected industry turbines. This effort will for the first time provide experimental data on the correlation of small amplitude high cycle loads that do the most damage. Crack growth will be monitored. The results of these data collection efforts will be the selection and validation of methods for the prediction of fatigue lifetime. Improved design capabilities are expected to lead to doubled fatigue * $2,300 The major uncertainties in structural models are uncertainty in the wind input, especially turbulence and shear, and the resulting impacts of unsteady loading on structural integrity and fatigue lifetime. Fatigue damage and assurance of satisfactory lifetime remain potential barriers for wind energy. Major structural problems have occurred in all turbines used in windfarms, including all European designs with any significant operating time. The problem is not just limited to blades, of which the problems in some commercial blades are most visible, but with blade attachments, hubs, yaw bearings, gear boxes and towers. The proposed FY 1989 activity is a balanced program of lab testing, field testing to document fatigue damage, and limited full-scale joint testing with industry in commercial systems and draws heavily on the aircraft industry experience. In addition, research tests on several industry turbines will be continued to establish the correlation of wind turbulence with blade pressures and resulting structural stresses in order to identify both the phasing of the fatigue-damaging loads and significant parameters in the windflow that result 5 {) feedback and validation of design choices for industry. For example the benefits of a teetered rotor compared to a rigid hub rotor have been published in several technical papers, and recent data confirm the performance of an innovative rotor for one participant. A number of projects of mutual interest will be undertaken in FY 1990. $2,300 Structural response data from the cooperative research program, the combined experiment, the 34-meter test bed and other industrial turbines will be collected and analyzed to valdiate structural models and to establish relevant parameters in the inflow that contribute to stress and damage. This data will also be used to develop improved models of yaw dynamics, drive train response and variable speed operation. Poor yaw dynamics are now believed to cause significantly higher loads than anticipated and appear to be a major cause of problems in windfarms. The fatigue properties of blade materials, especially fiberglass, are not well understood and vary considerably depending on manufacturing techniques. The fatigue research effort involves (1) establishing the fundamental materials properties through testing at universities and commercial laboratories, (2) sub-scale and full-scale testing of components such as blades and hubs, (3) field testing to track stress history and failure modes, and (4) development of computer codes that can be used by industry to predict lifetime of components. § III. Wind Energy Systems (Cont'd) Activity/Subact ivity FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Advanced Components Research lifetimes and lower systems costs. $1,800 The advanced airfoil research effort explores airfoils specifically designed for the wind turbine environment and to transfer these results to industry. Wind turbines operate at conditions that fixed wind a {rcraft seek to avoid: high angles of attack, de layed stall, non-laminar flow, etc. Airfoils used by manufacturers today do not take account of these cond it ions and their performance is known to deteriorate by 20-30 percent by surface contamination on machines in the field from insects, blowing dirt, and other effects. FY 1988 activities will emphasize wind tunnel testing and development of airfoils to take advantage of unsteady aerodynamics. The variable speed turbine research effort will define the potential performance and structural benefits of variable speed operation to permit industry to determine the type of systems to deploy. Performance benefits of 10 to 35% can be demonstrated analytically, however, the reduction in structural loads and preferred operating strategy is not as well defined. Industry representatives have requested that determining the scope of benefits and costs be adopted as a Federal role. in damage. Research will also be continued from FY 1988 on a single, more heavily instrumented turbine in the combined experiment. The resulting data sets from both efforts will be very useful in Federal research and will be made available to the industry. $3,200 Efforts on proof-of-concept technology development in airfoils and variable speed wind turbine systems will be continued. Payoffs are already seen in first generation airfoils for horizontal and vertical axis systems that demonstrate improved energy capture, reduced susceptibility to bug and dirt fouling, easier fabrication, and possibly reduced loads. It is anticipated that virtually all 10 to 15 meter rotor Danish turbines, whose initial fiberglass blades have delaminated (of which there may be thousands), could be retrofitted by U.S. manufacturers with improved airfoils. Other benefits pursued include improved post-stall characteristics. The objectives of the efforts in variable speed wind systems are to evaluate the benefits and costs of this advanced concept. The variable speed technology promises improved energy production, potential reduction in structural loads and tailoring the turbine to the characteristics at a site. These potential improvements have costs in required equipment and control complexity. Industry is looking to the Federal program to scope out both costs and benefits, prior to any firm's committing resources to this concept. 51 $3,050 Airfoils developed under the Federal program have been enthusiastically received by industry because of increased energy capture, control led stall characteristics, and reduced sensitivity to fouling by dust or salt. Atmospher ic testing of several airfoil families designed for the replacement blade market will be completed in FY 1990 and new designs will be initiated. Industry has demonstrated keen interest in the potential benefits of variable rotor speed operation of wind turbines. The Mod-5 has shown the feasibility of variable speed operation in general. The Federal program will work with industry to establish its cost-effectiveness for {ntermediate size turbine technology. É III.

Planned activities in FY 1989 would continue characterization of wind/hybrid power systems. 52 * The wind industry is now beginning to design second generation technology, using a variety of generally accepted , configurations such as teetered hubs for upwind horizontal axis turbines J A number of other features such as uniquely hinged rotors, variable speed generators, and integrated drive trains might be employed also. This activity would initiate a number of system studies to identify the economic costs and benefits, aerodynamic and structural implications, as well as control system impacts of such advanced configurations. Industry would be invited to participate in scoping the studies and might perform them in parallel with Federal researchers. $1,300 Activities include continuation of planning and technology assessments, and electrical system impacts of wind turbines and arrays.

Ocean Energy Systems (Cont'd) Activity/Subactivity FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 and performance predictive methodologies for heat and mass transfer processes for open-cycle systems with increased degrees of confidence. This activity is needed since little experimental data exists for heat and mass exchange processes with seawater. The predictive methodology has inherently large uncertainty due to lack of adequate validation. There are no analagous commercial or research systems from which comparable data can be taken for extrapolation. The impact on economic assessment of advanced OTEC concepts is large. Investigation of open-cycle heat and mass transfer processes will focus on developing high performance evaporators and condensers and analytical models that can predict their thermodynamic performance. Component heat and mass transfer analysis will include modeling of the hydrodynamic interaction among multiple direct-contact modules and simultaneous evaporation or condensation and gas sorption. Basic transport processes will be characterized in order to predict heat and mass transfer rates for various candidate direct-contact heat exchanger configurations. Previous investigations suggest that transport characteristics of direct-contact exchangers will be a significant improvement over those of conventional devices. Emphasis will be placed on developing condensers with low vapor and liquid-side pressure losses. The target is to attain proven methods for advanced heat transfer design and performance analysis. The application of these methods should result in high performance direct-contact heat exchangers as well as improved performance models for analyzing 00-0TEC design, performance prediction and experiments; evaluate designs and system integration activities for the scaling requirements for proposed 165 kWe OC-0TEC experiment, which will open-cycle component and system-level be the culmination of more than a four tests. year effort.

The following general purpose equipment projects are proposed: O Fourier Transform - Infrared (FTIR) Spectrophotometer - a research-grade FTIR spectrophotometer with mid-IRT6500–400cm−1) and far-IRT650-2OCm-T) ranges and rapid range selection, 0.3/cm resolution, multitasking data-acquisition system, hard disk data storage, and the capability to alternate rapidly between different experiments. The requested system will have the following capabilities: (1) temperature controlled, ultrahigh vacuum chamber for the preparation and analysis (via FTIR reflection-absorption spectroscopy) of ordered monolayers on surfaces; (2) cryogenic Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy (PAS) or diffuse reflectance cell for analysis of superconductors, desiccants, catalysts, and absorbed species on powders; (3) specular reflectance capability for routine analysis of thin films; (4) Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) capabilities for analysis of polymer surfaces, oriented thin films and aqueous catalyst dispersions; (5) time-resolved and rapid-scan capabilities for studies of reaction dynamics and kinetics; and (6) a dry-air purge system. The requested instrumentation will not only meet present needs--many of which are "on hold" for lack of suitable equipment--but will also accommodate and stimulate new experiments, outside collaborations, and research innovation for many years. ($300K) Microbalance and Beam Microbalance Sorption Apparatus SERI's desiccant research requires a microbalance capable of weighing Sampſes to TOOTanograms in order to improve the accuracy of sorption measurements to 1%. In addition to the improved sample weighing capability, there is a need to make sorption/permeation studies of polymers that cannot be carried out in the existing quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), i.e., materials which cannot be mounted or cast on a quartz crystal. This request includes components to convert an existing Sartorious microbalance for use with these materials--in any form, with masses up to 5 g, as compared to a limit of 10 milligrams with the QCM. This system also will be available for other studies involving gas/solid reactions (e.g. corrosion, reduction) related to photovoltaic and solar building research problems. ($17K) # º DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLAR ENERGY Solar Energy Research Institute GENERAL PURPOSE EQUIPMENT (GPE) (continued) O Data Communications Link – a data communications processor to link the Institute's permanent site to its Teased facilities.TCurrently the Institute is extremely limited in the electronic communication capabilities between its permanent site and its leased facilities, which are approximately two miles apart. The Institute now has its PC's and work stations on a network at its leased facilities, allowing these work stations to share files, share printers, exchange electronic mail, and access mainframe computers. However, the PC's and work stations at the Institute's permanent site are not part of the network. They can only access the network's capabilities through slow, cumbersome, asynchronous connections, provided on a line-by-line basis, which is more expensive than the concentrated solution offered by a communications processor. Without this capability, it will be impossible to provide effective Institute-wide microcomputer networking. ($50K) Local Area Network File Server The Institute's word processing system, which now has more than 300 nodes, requires a particularly robust file server. One of its seven file servers must be expanded to serve as a hub for file backups and a communications gateway to other systems like the Institute's electronic publishing system. Cooperative processing holds the possibility of off-loading demand for mainframe services and thus delaying and decreasing mainframe expansion costs. ($35K) Disk Drives for Mainframe Computer - four IBM 3880 Compatible Disk Drives with a total capacity of 10 gigabytes. TSERITs administrative data processing systems are currently being run on an IBM 4381 computer system. The direct access storage for the system has been provided by eight STC 8650 disk drives. This storage subsystem suffers from limitations in capacity, performance, and especially, reliability. They must be replaced to avoid exposing the Institute to inordinate risk of downtime. The new subsystem, when installed will increase capacity by 50%, double overall performance, and increase reliability by an order of magnitude. Eliminating the older disks will decrease maintenance costs and power consumption in the computer center.

The following general plant projects are proposed: O General Repair Projects for the SERI Permanent Site This addresses multiple projects too sizeable to be funded with operating funds, and includes repair or replacement of deteriorated roofs, sidings, and other exterior items as well as interior floors, ceilings, and interior finishes. Also included are repairs on fences, roads, sidewalks, and drains. The repairs/retrofits accomplished with this funding will keep operational the DOE facilities for which SERI is responsible and will help avoid negative impacts on program milestones or overall SERI mission. ($125K) O Repair/Retrofit of Ventilation Systems in Building 16. This project will provide much needed Ventitation improvement to the MetroTogy Uptics Tāb (307) in Building 16. In addition, minimal repair and retrofit work on the ventilation systems in the leased laboratory building is planned, to maintain a safe operation until the labs move to their permanent location in FY 1993. Work will include fume hoods, ducts, fans, and controls that are contributing to a reduced level of safety within the building. These fixes are required to uphold safe conditions that cannot be met by performing normal routine maintenance. Only necessary repairs to ensure that no life safety problems occur, will be accomplished in the leased building. ($50K) 66 | | I.

Geothermal energy contributes to energy security because it is indigenous, abundant and not subject to interruption or control from outside the United States. It is a source of energy stability because it is not rapidly depletable. Moreover, anticipated advances in technology, based on planned research, will make geothermal energy increasingly competitive. Lastly, geothermal energy enhances energy strength by providing energy as both electricity (potentially in 13 states), direct heat (potentially in 37 states), and transportation fuel (natural gas co-produced from geopressured wells), with high availability. The proposed Federal investment in geothermal energy research and development is appropriate in light of the large contribution geothermal technology can make toward increasing the nation's energy supply mix. Because of the greater risk and longer term attendant to resolving some technology issues, Federal research will have to play a necessary, active role. That research already has begun to pay dividends. Royalties from hydro- thermal power generated on Federal land exceed the proposed funding level for DOE hydrothermal research. And these Government revenues are expected to increase as the improving technology base provides industry with better opportunities to exploit more of the resource. Since the introduction of geothermal power generation in the U.S. in 1960, the use of dry steam resources has grown rapidly. In the past 15 years, the combined geothermal energy programs of the private sector and government have made major advances leading to the initial development of high-temperature hydrothermal resources. Geothermal energy already comprises over 5 percent of all U.S. energy furnished by renewable resources. As new technology (such as binary cycle energy conversion) allows industry to exploit moderate temperature hydrothermal resources, that amount should increase to 9 percent by the year 2000, and to 11 percent by the year 2010. The increase will be even greater if the abundant resources of hot dry rock, geopressure and magma prove to be competitive as their remaining technical barriers are overcome. The most significant application for geothermal energy will continue to be the generation of electric power. The Department projects an increased need in U.S. power generating capacity of about 100 gigawatts by the year '73 § 2000, much of it in western and sunbelt states where geothermal energy is abundant. Significant additional capacity also will be needed to replace retired plants. Meeting these needs will require roughly a one- quarter increase in capacity in less than 15 years. The modularity of geothermal power systems makes them excellent candidates for incremental capacity additions that can be tailored to generating needs and constructed with relatively short lead times. In addition, most geothermal resource types also can furnish inexpensive direct heat to co-located consumers, and geopressured resources contain natural gas, dissolved in the hot brine, that can supplement the nation's gas supply. The FY 1990 geothermal energy program has been structured to meet research objectives that reduce the cost of power from geothermal resources. Achievement of these objectives will increase the contribution of geothermal energy to the security of the Nation's energy supply system. Plans based on them have been developed with active participation by the private sector. Consistent with these objectives, the primary strategy within the geothermal energy program is to stimulate private sector participation in research and development activities as early as possible, so that industry will have an advanced technology base to exploit the available geothermal resources. Hydrothermal research expands the accessible resource base by improving the methods of finding, extracting, and injecting geothermal fluids, developing new materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures and corrosive environments, continuing brine chemistry research leading to techniques to prevent plugging of wells and pipes, and developing advanced power cycle technologies to increase power generation efficiencies. The geopressured-geothermal research program is proceeding to define the performance characteristics of the large reservoirs of hot brine and dissolved methane that lie beneath the U.S. Gulf Coast. The research effort includes flow testing of experimental wells, monitoring of environmental effects, tests of the conversion of the brine energy content (thermal and chemical) to electric power, and supporting research on the dynamic response of geopressured reservoirs to production conditions. Hot dry rock research involves the evaluation of man-made fractured reservoirs in deep crystalline rock and the development of methods to extract geothermal heat from such resources. A new seismic technique for locating fracture planes in crystal line rock was recently developed. The magma energy research program seeks to locate magma chambers and to extract energy from them. Research efforts are aimed at locating a large magma chamber, evaluating alternative methods of energy extraction, and developing alloys, well cements, and instrumentation capable of performing in the 800 to 1200 degree Celsius magma environment. '74 § The geothermal energy budget for FY 1990 supports the highest priority research activities consistent with program objectives; it maintains a balanced core program to develop a range of the most promising technology options, while minimizing outlay requirements. Sharing of costs and research responsibilities with industry is actively pursued to enhance the effectiveness of research expenditures and to accelerate transfer of new technology.

These technology options will find application throughout the Nation's electric utility, industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors. Further, these technologies have strong ties to both renewable and conservation options which will play important roles in the future energy profile of the nation. Successful research and development efforts will benefit the nation by: increasing national security; assuring public safety; enhancing energy independence; enhancing U.S. competitiveness; and improving the quality of the environment. : The Department of Energy's recent "Energy Security" report projects that a shøytfall between peak load demand and electrical generating capacity of 100 GW may exist by the year 2000. 1ſ In fact, if current trends continue, the demand for electric energy will exceed the generating capacity in the mid-1990’s. The importance of this capacity shortfall is clear when one considers that the economic viability of the U.S. is dependent on an adequate supply of electric energy. OESD is developing technologies to reduce this potentially critical shortage. Such technologies as energy storage, system automation and control, and renewable energy sources can make significant contributions toward addressing this problem. When fully developed, these technologies can be used to improve system efficiencies and/or provide a means to shift to more abundant or renewable energy sources. - The Electric Energy Systems (EES) research program is based on three fundamental objectives: (1) ensuring that biological effects and risks to life forms exposed to high-voltage electric and magnetic fields are well 35 § understood; (2) retaining the reliability of the nation's increasingly complex electric network under normal and (more difficult) emergency conditions; and (3) providing a technology base through research of new concepts and materials and improved understanding of performance-limiting and life-limiting phenomena. The EES program supports a research and development portfolio structured to conduct fundamental research with emphasis on the higher risk, long-term R&D which the utility industry historically has largely avoided, and also to address and respond to changing electric energy conditions through focused and targeted research. Electric Field Effects research will continue to determine the impact of combined electric and magnetic fields on living tissue, whole bodies, and abnormal cell growth. Results of research in this area have been transferred through public forums and technical papers and are the basis of important international research. Research results to date include human studies which indicate only temporal whole body impact. The Reliability. R&D activities will continue research on assessment of the high energy impact of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) on the Nation's electric power systems operations and continuing studies on control and operating strategies to mitigate the effects of an EMP. Assessment and modeling of real power systems are virtually complete. Important verification of these models still remain. Methods and strategies to operate complex, very large integrated electric power systems through improved system stability, operational, and restoration techniques (on-line detection and recognition research) will be completed. Systems Concepts research will continue on superconducting materials for power system applications. The most recent scientific breakthroughs in high temperature superconducting (HTSC) materials show potential for making superconducting technologies economically attractive for power system applications. The 0ESD HTSC project, initiated in FY 1988 and expanded in FY 1989, is aimed at developing practical conductors and innovatively applying these to power system devices. Considering the national laboratories as a "national resource" of people and facilities, 0ESD and the labs will actively seek partners with industries and universities to participate in all phases of the research and development. In addition, the recently announced three Pilot Centers for HTSC will continue to provide high level direction to the labs and act as a catalyst to making the HTSC devices reach commercialization in the earliest possible time. The OESD has been supporting research and development efforts on superconductivity for 15 years. The research covers a broad spectrum of the R&D cycle. The research has focused on developing an understanding, advancing the knowledge of superconducting material properties, and applying the knowledge to potential applications in the U.S. electric network. The three technologies that have been supported are: o Superconducting Generator; o Superconducting Transmission System; and o Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage. § Further 0ESD support for the development of high-temperature superconducting power system technologies will require a substantial research activity which builds upon recent advances in high temperature superconducting materials. The results of these efforts will be needed both for generic knowledge and for specific applications such as superconducting cable, motors, magnetic storage, transformers and control devices. The Energy Storage Program (ES) supports a broad spectrum of research activities. These range from fundamental research aimed at advancing the understanding of scientific principles to exploratory development efforts which focus on improving technology performance and applicability. The final stage is to take this R&D to the point where compelling economic benefits are recognized by the private sector. Storage technologies such as advanced batteries and thermal energy storage can play a key role in the effort to minimize the impact of the projected electric shortfall in the 1990s. In addition, domestic petroleum supplies have already had a large shortfall when compared to domestic production, necessitating substantial oil imports. The petroleum used in the transportation sector alone exceeds all of the domestic petroleum supply. In the future, methanol could also be used with energy efficient fuel cells to drive all-purpose electrical vehicles. The Energy Storage Systems research program will continue: (1) providing an improved understanding of the complex phenomena governing performance (e.g., specific energy and specific power) and cycle life of electrochemical systems for batteries; (2) identifying new electrochemical couples and advanced design principles to enhance the performance and economic requirements for secondary batteries and fuel cell systems; (3) developing, evaluating and improving selected systems to the point where product engineering efforts by the private sector will occur; (4) concluding a thermal energy storage research program which was focused on long-term or seasonal storage to use thermal sources which are otherwise discarded; and (5) developing hydrogen as a future cost-effective energy carrier, fuel and potential storage medium. Electrochemical Storage research activities will continue toward determining the structure, composition, and mode of formation of surface layers on solid and porous electrodes; understanding electrolyte transport; developing new electrochemical couples; and analysis and design of battery and fuel cell components. This will be accomplished with new analytical tools and the study of the relationship between the kinetics of electrode processes and the atomic structure of the electrode surfaces. Other electrochemical research activities will include improving the reliability of the electrolyte for the advanced batteries; continuing performance tests of sodium/sulfur cells designed for electric vehicle applications; and evaluating and developing new sodium/sulfur, zincſ/bromine cell designs for electric vehicle and load leveling applications which have improved durability and reliability. Also, research will be initiated to devise innovative concepts for superconducting magnetic energy storage to determine feasibility of small capacity, lower cost devices. Electrochemical progress has included greatly improved solid electrolyte materials, new membranes 37 § for fuel cells, and advancement in air electrodes, all of which will contribute to higher levels of reliability and reduced costs. Thermal and Chemical Storage research will focus on improving the technical and economic viability of seasonal thermal energy storage for commercial and industrial application. Research on hydrogen will continue with higher efficiency electrolysis process improvement. 1/ Energy Security, A Report To The President of The United States, DOE/S-0057, March 1987. § Activity Electric Energy Systems: Operating Expenses . . . . . . . . .

Ensuring energy stability, security and strength requires a diversified energy supply base built upon adequate, domestic resources that are relatively unaffected by international pressures. Nuclear energy is a § vital component of the national energy supply and is essential to meet current and future national energy OO demands. § Goals The fundamental goals that must be achieved to fulfill the mission of the civilian reactor development program & Pe: & o To provide an effective and predictable regulatory and institutional environment that enables nuclear power projects to compete freely in the marketplace. o To support and facilitate industry-led technology efforts to revitalize the Light Water Reactor (LWR) option for the U.S. and to ensure its long-term availability as a vital component of the national energy supply system. o To explore the feasibility and practicality of advanced nuclear reactor systems with the potential for breakthroughs in economics, safety, licensability, and waste management options. o To support long-term national interests by: conducting cooperative international nuclear R&D projects that further U.S. nonproliferation objectives, strengthening our position in international commerce, and providing options to meet longer term needs to extend uranium resources. 135 § OWERVIEW (Continued) Nuclear Energy R&D Programs The goals will be met through two major programs: (a) Provide visible national support and complementary research and development to foster successful industry-led efforts to ensure the availability of the LWR option to meet projected power demands in the 1990's. o Demonstrate the NRC certification process needed for all advanced reactors through successful certification of two advanced light water reactors. o Encourage development of improved designs employing the best technology available worldwide and incorporating passive safety features for use in standardized plants for the 1990's. o Utilize the results from severe accident, source term and safety technology programs to assist in the removal of institutional barriers currently inhibiting the introduction of advanced LWR's in the U.S. marketplace. o Support industry initiatives through complementary R&D to extend the life of the Nation's existing nuclear powerplants. o Provide technical support and analyses of domestic and foreign efforts to improve the opportunities for the LWR option. Support development of alternatives to LWR reactor designs and fuel cycles which have the potential for breakthroughs in economics, safety, licensability, and waste management options. O O Support licensing, design and development work needed to determine the practicability of innovative Liquid Metal-cooled Reactors (LMRs) and High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs) for the U.S. and international markets as well as pursuing cost-sharing with private industry on these programs and the Energy Technology Engineering Center. Complete the demonstration of a metal-fueled, Integral Fast Reactor system. Participate in international cooperative programs that can provide a common base for resolving issues that impede the availability of nuclear technologies that are likely to be needed in the future. § OWERVIEW (Continued) Nuclear Energy R&D Reactor R&D Facilities and Their Utilization The civilian reactor development program operates high performance test facilities essential to technology development required for space and defense power systems, civilian applications including isotopic systems and other DOE programs. In FY 1989, the Department will arrange for the National Academy of Sciences to conduct an independent evaluation of two options for producing Pu-238, which is used in Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTG's), an essential power source for NASA and DOD missions. The options to be evaluated are (1) production at the Department's Savannah River facilities, and (2) establishment of a Pu-238 production capability at the FFTF and the FMEF in Hanford, Washington. Upon completion of the evaluation and a decision by the Department, plans for proceeding with the selected option will be finalized. Materials and fuels testing will be conducted in support of the SP-100 Space Reactor Development Program; this program, in addition to the Thermionic Werfication Program and Multimegawatt Space Reactor Program are the primary users of these high performance test facilities. Facility utilization plans provide focus to ensure that the facilities are operated in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner and that program requirements are met with the minimum requisite facility configuration. Facility funding requests are consistent with program strategy and initiatives and are the minimum funds required to sustain safe and reliable facility operations while conducting these essential DOE programs. SPACE AND DEFENSE POWER SYSTEMS AND ADVANCED NUCLEAR SYSTEMS These programs meet the national energy needs for both reactor and isotopic power systems for civilian as well as military space and terrestrial mission applications. Civilian and defense space power system requirements have steadily increased to the point where current available power systems are inadequate and now tend to limit mission capabilities. Consequently, many missions will either go unfulfilled or their capabilities will have to be substantially reduced unless better power systems are developed and demonstrated. Nuclear power systems are attractive: Compactness, high specific power (with respect to both mass and volume), long life, high reliability, survivability, insensitivity to hostile environments, capability for autonomous operation, and independence from operational and logistical constraints are positive features which make nuclear power stand out as a significantly enhancing and enabling technology for civilian and defense space power system applications. Consequently, concerted development, testing, production, qualification, and delivery of these systems must be pursued in a timely and responsive manner, consistent with user support, to ensure that mission requirements are met. D0E's Space and Defense Power Systems and Advanced Nuclear Systems programs and projects are specifically focused on satisfying the needs of NASA and DOD through jointly- sponsored and funded nuclear power system development efforts. # 07 § UWERVIEW (Continued) Nuclear Energy R&D Goals These programs and projects are user driven, requiring the application of sophisticated nuclear energy R&D and required safety support; the goals are: (a) To identify and delineate user/mission power system requirements and associated nuclear power system options, as well as to plan appropriate nuclear power system R&D projects so that user mission power needs will be met on schedule; (b) To advance and assess key nuclear and safety technologies necessary to support anticipated nuclear power system development projects against planned mission requirements and applications; and, (c) To satisfy user requests for special purpose space and terrestrial nuclear power systems through design, development, demonstration testing, production, qualification, and delivery. Strategy All of the objectives of the ſepartment's programs can be met through the following strategy: (a) Interact and work closely with space and defense user agencies to identify and characterize mission power system requirements and candidate nuclear power system options; (b) Plan, establish, and implement individual space and defense nuclear power system joint projects with user agencies and share funding commitments through formal multiagency agreements; (c) Execute each formally established joint project in compliance with each formal agreement, and in response to user-established requirements and level of support; and (d) Conduct R&D activities that enhance the quality, safety, reliability, producibility, and availability of nuclear power systems. Current Projects The Space and Defense Power Systems and Advanced Nuclear Systems programs in FY 1990 include five projects -- two involve reactor power systems, three involve isotopic power systems -- spanning the broad electrical power range from watts to hundreds of kilowatts. Generally, these development and demonstration projects are jointly-funded endeavors with one or more government user agencies. Costs are split between the Department and the users over the life of the project, with actual cost splits varying from project to project. Some projects may be funded to a large extent by the user. The Programs will utilize Nuclear Energy's facilities which have been constructed over the years in support of the civilian nuclear power program. The projects are : 108 § OWERVIEW (Continued) Nuclear Energy R&D (a) (b) (c) (d) The Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) Program, which already provides a range of RTG's for use on civilian or military spacecraft, such as NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter, and the Ulysses mission to explore the polar regions of the sun. RTG's can be designed to provide up to 1 KWe of continuous electrical power for 10 to 20 years; The Special Applications program, a joint effort with DOD to develop and provide compact RTG's for use in special purpose terrestrial applications; The Turbine Energy Conversion System Project, formerly entitled Dynamic Isotope Power System, to develop and demonstrate a compact, highly reliable, rugged, and safe 1 to 10 KWe electrical space nuclear power system for missions in the 1990's utilizing isotope heat sources and dynamic energy conversion machinery that can operate for long durations (approximately 7 to 10 years); The SP-100 Space Reactor Project, a joint effort with DOD under the sponsorship of the President's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), and NASA, to develop and demonstrate by the early 1990's (via ground testing at 100 KWe) safe, high performance, and compact space reactor power system technology, whose basic design is sufficiently generic to provide from 10's of kilowatts to 100's of kilowatts of electrical power. This type of reactor can support a broad class of civilian and military space mission applications beginning in the mid-1990's and beyond; and The Multimegawatt (MMW) Space Power Systems Program, which includes the MMW Space Reactor Project and other advanced space reactor technologies, is an effort sponsored by SDI 0 to advance and assess space reactor power system technologies capable of providing several MW of electrical power for long durations (about 1-10 years) as well as hundreds of electrical MW for short durations, to establish their technical and safety feasibility, and to select at least one concept by the mid-1990's for possible development and ground demonstration testing. Long-term civilian missions could also require megawatts of continuous power. While there is no Nuclear Energy support for the MMW Space Reactor Project in FY 1990, however, SDIO is to continue the project and plans to use Nuclear Energy as their executing agent. Advanced technologies such as the Thermionic Fuel Element verification and studies are included within the overall MMW project. $ 39 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE NUCLEAR ENERGY R&D Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs Base Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Light Water Reactors Operating $_31,600A/ $ 26,800 $_26,800 $ 24,000 $ - 2,800 - WO Subtotal $ 31,600 $ 26,800 $ 26,800 $ 24,000 $ - 2,800 - 10 Advanced Reactors R&D Operating $ 75,271A/ $ 74,780 $ 74,780 $ 30,685 $ -44,095 - 59 Capital Equipment 2,900 l, 220 1,220 2,000 + 780 + 64 Subtotal $ 78,171B/ $ 76,000C/ $ 76,000C/ $ 32,685 $ -43,315 - 57 Space and Defense Power Systems Operating $ 57,210 $ 38,490 $ 38,490 $ 26,930 $ - 11,560 – 30 Capital Equipment 3,470 7,350 7,350 6,370 - 980 - 13 Construction 8,320 20, 160 20, 160 11,700 - 8,460 - 42 Subtotal $ 69,000 $ 66,000D7 $ 66,000D/ $ 45,000 $ -21,000 - 32 Advanced Nuclear Systems Operating $ 25,861A/ $ 32,000 $ 32,000 $ 40,200 $4 8,200 + 26 Capital Equipment , 200 3, 200 3,200 4,000 + 800 + 25 Construction 0 2,500 2,500 16,000 +13,500 + 540 Subtotal $ 27,061 $ 37,700 $ 37,700 $ 60,200 $422,500 + 60 A/ Excludes SBIR. % Excludes $13,285K included in the Facilities budget for comparability purposes.

Preface: Light Water Reactors This program is part of a nationally coordinated effort to maintain the nuclear option in the U.S. by removal of technical, licensing, and institutional impediments to construction and operation of next generation Light Water Reactors (LWR's). The major focus of the program is the Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) program element, which has as its objective the development and certification of standardized improved LWR's for deployment in the 1990's to ensure that nuclear power remains a viable option to satisfy load growth and replacement capacity needs. It also serves to demonstrate a viable NRC certification process that can be utilized by other advanced reactor concepts. This program element complements industry reactor design programs. It includes support for certification, by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), of an advanced light water reactor in 1991; design, development, and certification of more passively safe simplified (600 MW) BWR and PWR plant concepts in 1995; activities to ensure that plants are designed for constructibility and, therefore, more certain and shorter construction times. These activities fulfill the Department's commitments to complement the Electric Power Research Institute/Industry work on advanced LWR's. The second program element, Current and Advanced Light Water Reactor Safety and Licensing Support, provides technology support to the Advanced Light Water Reactor Program. It applies the results of the severe accident technology programs to the implementation of the severe Accident Policy Statement for ALWR's to address severe accident issues which could forestall acceptance of ALWR's. It develops technology to support the extension of nuclear powerplant life beyond the current arbitrary 40-year licensing period, and provides the basis for achieving a license renewal for a lead plant by 1993. It further explores solutions to other institutional impediments to the deployment of nuclear powerplants. ! I. A.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACT IVITY SUMMARY Nuclear Energy R&D Preface: Advanced Reactor R&D The Advanced Reactor R&D Program's highest priority activities are to complete the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) demonstration program; to support the sodium cooled steam generator endurance testing program; and to support the development of the highly innovative modular Liquid Metal Reactor (LMR) and High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) concepts. In FY 1988, emphasis was given to the Integral Fast Reactor program where the lead metal fuel irradiation tests surpassed design goal burnup and the facility for manufacturing metal fuel was successfully put into full operation and testing of metallic driver fuel in the FFTF was initiated. Additional FY 1988 accomplishments included startup of Helical Coil Steam Generator testing activities in combination with sale of electricity (the Energy Technology Engineering Center Power Pak operations), selection of the Power Reactor Inherently Safe Module (PRISM) as the reference LMR concept, and initiation of preliminary design of the modular HTGR (MHTGR). Activities in these program areas are being continued in FY 1989; however, steam generator testing is being funded in the Facilities budget. During FY 1990, in conjunction with funds to be provided under a collaborative agreement with Japan, IFR program efforts by the Argonne National Laboratory will be continued to confirm the passive safety and improved economic potential of small sodium cooled reactors using metallic fuel with optional on-site fuel reprocessing. By the end of FY 1990, ANL should start hot operations of the Hot Fuel Examination Facility-South for IFR fuel recycle demonstration. In addition, a Government/private sector cost-sharing initiative will be developed for the MHTGR program and preliminary design, technology development, and licensing activities will continue. These efforts will complement, not duplicate, efforts relating to the New Production Reactors. Similarly, a Government/private sector cost-sharing initiative will be developed for the LMR program and tradeoff studies, design activities, and licensing interactions with NRC will continue on the reference LMR concept. Activities will also continue pursuant to collaborative international agreements. Funding is also provided to conduct research efforts in generic nuclear energy studies, evaluations, and management support activities. A.

Preface: Space and Defense Power Systems The Space and Defense Power Systems program fulfills the DOE's charter under the Atomic Energy Act to support other Federal agencies in the design, development, production, and testing of reactor power systems for space and special purpose terrestrial applications. This program also includes nuclear energy research funding for generic nuclear energy studies, evaluations, and management support activities. This request includes the following activities: The SP-100 program is a triagency effort by DOE, NASA, and D0D to establish the technology readiness of advanced space reactors for missions beginning in the mid 1990's. Key objectives and projected accomplishments were established in 1985 when the triagency agreement was reached for this program. In view of the reduced funding available from each of the three agencies supporting the program, a major restructuring of the program has been conducted to ensure that the reactor demonstration can be completed in the mid 1990's. The Multimegawatt Space Nuclear Power Systems program includes two activities: o The MMW space reactor program is a SD10 program, using the DOE as the executing agent, to demonstrate the technical feasibility of space reactor power systems for power levels in excess of those that can be satisfied by SP-100. Though the initial focus is on SD10 applications involving 10's to 100's of MWe for burst and/or continuous operation, far term civilian missions could also require megawatts of continuous power. o In cooperation with SD 10, the Thermionic Fuel Element (TFE) verification program is being pursued as a hardware testing program to resolve key technical issues which need resolution before thermionics can be considered for future space systems, i.e., MMW or low power systems. *T 2 6 § I 1 - A.

This project will modify an existing facility and install the necessary support systems to provide an approved test site for the SP-100 Phase II Ground Engineering (GES) demonstration of a 2.5 MWt nuclear reactor provided by the system developer. The goal of the SP-100 triagency program is to develop safe, compact, light weight, durable (7 years at full power), multi-hundred kilowatt electric (10's to 100's kWe.) space reactor power system technology and demonstrate a generic design to enable a broad class of emerging military and civil space missions in the early to mid-1990's and beyond. DOE has primary responsibility for developing and ground testing the nuclear subsystem and a ground demonstration testing site is necessary to fulfill this commitment. The project consists of removing unneeded reactor support systems from the original test reactor in the existing facility and modifications to provide a containment building, a process ventilation system for radioactive air, all basic utility services, and close proximity to support facilities for the assembly, disassembly, and post-irradiation testing of the SP-100 ground test reactor. * The intent is to reprogram $8,230k from construction erating funding. #3% § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONCRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACT | V | TY SUMMARY NUCLEAR ENERGY R&D 1. Preface: Advanced Nuclear Systems (ANS) The Department's Advanced Nuclear Systems program provides support for the development, demonstration, testing, isotope heat source production, power converter assembly and checkout, nuclear safety analysis and testing, quality assurance, reliability, and operational safety for radioisotope power sources. Radioisotope power sources are the enabling technology for space and terrestrial applications requiring proven, reliable and maintenance-free power supplies capable of producing up to ten kilowatts of power and operating under severe environmental conditions for up to tens of years. Current programs focus on the near-term mission requirements of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Defense (DOD). These include special terrestrial applications in support of DOD uses for activities on land, in the air, and under the sea, as well as support for NASA's Galileo and Ulysses missions now scheduled for launch in 1989 and 1990, respectively. All these projects are jointly funded by DOE, DOD or NASA. Support is provided for two new FY 1990 NASA program starts -- The Comet Rendezvous Astroid Flyby (CRAF) and Cassini Missions. Support is also provided for long term NASA interplanetary missions to be deployed from the early 1990's to the year 2000 such as the Planetary Science program -- Cassini, Comet Nucleus Sample Return, Mars Rover/Sample Return, Mars Penetrator Network, and Mariner Mark I. As stated, this program is the base level support for DOE's isotope power programs; therefore, support for the Turbine Energy Conversion System (TECS) program that will service evolving DOD and NASA missions in the 1 to 10 kilowatt range is also included. TECS, formerly entitled the Dynamic isotope Power System (DIPS) under the Space and Defense program, is designing, fabricating and testing a dynamic gas turbine converter for the next generation of isotope power systems. TECS is the preferred approach to meet evolving NASA and DOD space and terrestrial isotope power requirements in the one to ten kilowatts electric range because it converts heat to electricity several times more efficiently than current thermoelectric systems, thereby permitting more cost effective use of isotope supplies. The TECS ground engineering system will be a prototype unit identical to a flight unit except that the unit will be electrically heated and fully instrumented for test. The unit will be operated over an extended period of time to verify system performance and reliability. Additionally, the ANS program provides for and maintains the sole national capability and facilities to produce radioisotope power systems, provides for infrastructure modernization and upgrades, and provides funding for generic nuclear energy studies, evaluations, and safety support. Modifications to the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) at Hanford will continue in order to provide a modern Radioisotope Power System Facility for the assembly and checkout of NASA and DOD power supply units. Other missions that will use isotope power include the special terrestrial applications for various D0D users. Radioisotope power sources used by DOD have provided a replaceable electrical power source for a variety of missions. § ! I. A.

This project will modify and outfit a portion of the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) to permit the assembly, checkout, and storage of Plutonium-238 power sources for all planned and future radioisotope thermoelectric generators for space and terrestrial applications. - Radioisotope power system development and production is an established, ongoing national capability which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. There is a need to upgrade and modernize the Department's infrastructure for producing radioisotope power systems. The FMEF modifications and process line will result in a facility that will meet program requirements as well as current safety, environmental protection and security requirements. To accommodate the Radioisotope Power System Facility scope within the existing FMEF building, facility modification to the -35' level and process equipment design, procurement and installation will be required. Incorporation of the radioisotope work within an existing qualified nuclear facility can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost of all new construction. IV. § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY Nuclear Energy R&D Preface: Facilities The Nuclear Energy (NE) facilities provide safe, reliable, and economical testing capabilities essential for the development and verification of nuclear power systems for space and defense power systems, and civilian applications. The key facilities include the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II), the Fuel Manufacturing Facility (FMF), the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT), the Zero Power Physics Reactor (ZPPR), and the Hot Fuel Examination Facility (HFEF), at the Argonne National Laboratory-West (ANL-W) near Idaho Falls, Idaho; the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and the Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) at the Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC), near Richland, Washington; and the comprehensive nonnuclear component test complex at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) near Canoga Park, California. During the past several years, the operational efficiency of NE's facilities has continuously improved and non-essential facilities have been shut down, resulting in improved test facility productivity. Nuclear facility safety management and oversight activities were increased in FY 1988 to further enhance facility and worker safety and protection of the public and environment, to reflect the reviews by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the Department's Advisory Committee for Nuclear Facility Safety (ACNFS), and to initiate applicable Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) good practices. As part of Nuclear Energy's effort to reduce the facilities budget, the privately-financed electric generation system at ETEC began operation in FY 1988 and a privately-financed electric generation system is under study for FFTF. Efforts to further improve facility safety and productivity will be continued to assure that essential facility capabilities with enhanced reliability are available to meet civilian, space and defense power systems, and other program needs. In FY 1989 at ANL-W, continued emphasis is being placed on continuing HFEF-South modifications for developing metal fuel refabrication, reprocessing and waste treatment technologies; on EBR-II passive safety testing; on fabricating advanced metal driver and experimental fuel for EBR-II, and on completing the conversion of the EBR-II core to the more advanced metal fuel. At WHC, safety analyses and fuel qualification activities for conversion of the FFTF to a uranium oxide core will continue as will technology activities in support of the liquid metal reactor, space and defense, fusion and international programs; activities will be initiated to prepare for equipping the more secure Fuel Assembly Annex (FAA) for fuel supply operations; and potential long-term missions for the FFTF and the FMEF will be evaluated. In this regard, in FY 1989, the Department will arrange for the NAS to conduct an independent evaluation of two options for producing Pu-238, which is used in Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTG's), an essential power source for NASA and D00 missions. The options to be evaluated are (1) production at the Department's Savannah River facilities, and (2) establishment of a Pu-238 production capability at the FFTF and the FMEF in Hanford, Washington. Upon completion of the evaluation and a decision by the Department, plans for proceeding with the selected option will be finalized. At ETEC, performance testing of the Helical Coil Steam Generator (HCSG) will be nearing completion and preparations will begin for testing the Hockey Stick Steam Generator (HSSG) and the Double Wall Tube Steam Generator (DWTSG). Further, initiate actions in response to recommendations from the NAS review of Category A reactors including FFTF and EBR-II. Activities planned for FY 1990 at ANL-W include more advanced safety testing in EBR-II, and completing the modification and starting facility checkout operations for the metal fuel processing systems in the HFEF-South. At WHC, activities leading to conversion of the FFTF to a uranium oxide core in FY 1991 will continue as will the CDE, absorber development and space and defense, fusion and international test programs, and, assuming the assignment of the Pu-238 production mission to Hanford, based on studies and evaluations in FY 1989, design and development activities will be initiated to modify the FFTF and FMEF to produce Pu-238. The FY 1990 funding request does not include funding to support the Pu-238 mission; if the Pu-238 production mission is approved, additional FY 1990 funding will be required. If the studies and evaluations fail to support the Pu-238 mission, then requested funding will be used to initiate FFTF shutdown. At ETEC, more than one-half of the support for operations is currently being derived from international cooperative programs, private industry (including revenues from private utilities for electrical generation on the ETEC site), and from other sources outside of the Nuclear Energy R&D budget. This cost sharing clearly demonstrates the versatility and capability of the ETEC personnel and test facilities. In FY 1990, an attempt will be made £ 44 § to obtain additional cost sharing from international and private industry that would match Nuclear Energy R&D Facilities funding at ETEC. If successful, this attempt will lead to operations and testing as described herein; if unsuccessful, ETEC will be placed in standby for the entire fiscal year. Assuming the cost sharing is realized, steam generator testing activities will continue; the HCSG testing will be completed; HSSG testing will be initiated; and, pursuant to a collaborative agreement with Japan, facility design work will be completed and construction initiated for installation of the U.S. 70 megawatt DWTSG and the Japanese Few Tube Test Model (FTTM) steam generator. Further, continue actions in response to the recommendations from the NAS review of Category A reactors. - . A.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OWERVIEW REMEDIAL ACTION AND WASTE TECHNOLOGY The objectives of the Remedial Action and Waste Technology Program are to stabilize radioactive waste or to perform decontamination and decommissioning at contaminated Department of Energy (DOE) and legislatively authorized non-Government facilities and sites; demonstrate the solidification of high-level waste for disposal; facilitate establishment of a system for managing and disposing of the nation's low-level waste; and develop beneficial uses of nuclear byproducts. These objectives broadly support the Nuclear Energy mission of the Department and the Secretary's commitment to ensure that the environment and public health and safety are protected. The general strategy is to: (1) establish priorities among the sites and activities; (2) emphasize highest priority work; (3) develop long-range plans and schedules to complete required remedial actions as soon as possible; and (4) maintain project discipline to control costs and schedules. Program activities include: (1) the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Project; (2) the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project; (3) the Surplus Facilities Management Program; (4) the West Valley Demonstration Project; (5) the Low-Level Waste Program; and (6) phase-out of the Byproducts Utilization activity. International cooperative activities, waste management training programs, and nuclear fuel cycle studies are also conducted under this program. Plans for FY 1990 specifically support the D0C Secretary's goals for satisfying environmental needs, for continuing high priority program activities, for balancing resources to properly maintain the infrastructure, and for rescoping lower priority activities. The scope of proposed activities in FY 1990 has been reduced from previously planned levels to meet tight budgetary constraints, resulting in increases to the total estimated costs for the majority of projects and adjustments to the planned outyear funding levels. Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Project (FUSRAP) The objective of this activity is to provide remedial actions at privately owned former nuclear processing facilities that became radioactively contaminated as a result of Manhattan Engineer District (MED) or Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) work, or have been specifically assigned to DOE by Congress. This project, which is a DOE Major Systems Acquisition, provides for removal or control of contaminated material from properties which are contaminated above current guidelines. The waste from cleanup work is, generally, stored temporarily on the facility site, which was the source of the contamination. Later, the source facility is decontaminated and the waste is either stabilized in place, removed to a host State disposal facility for large waste £ 61 # OWERVIEW - Remedial Action and Waste Technology (cont'd) quantities, or transported to an established DOE disposal site for small waste quantities. The project strategy is to complete a comprehensive site search and screening process in FY 1989 that will establish total project scope and to implement both interim and final remedial actions. Under the current budgetary profile, the project completion date is approximately 2050. There are currently 29 sites under this Project, including three sites on EPA's National Priority List (Superfund), and additional sites may be added when the site search and screening process is complete. Remedial action has been completed on 8 of the 29 sites currently in the Project. An important aspect of the project strategy is the development and acquisition of disposal Sites. Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project (UMTRAP) This project, authorized under Public Law 95-604, covers remedial actions at 24 inactive uranium mill tailings processing sites and several thousand associated vicinity properties. Long-term stabilization and control of the tailings is provided through engineered disposal either at the processing site or off site. Contaminated materials removed from the vicinity properties are disposed of with the processing site tailings. The Federal Government (DOE) pays 90 percent of the remedial action cost and the States pay 10 percent. When the sites are on Indian lands, the Federal Government is responsible for the entire cost of the remedial action. Project implementation is based on site priorities established by health effects analysis and on optimizing overall project management. During FY 1988, the Department proposed, and Congress passed, legislation extending the authorized completion date from March 1990 to September 1994. This action was necessary to accommodate the large number of sites, incorporate the scope and nature of work required to comply with promulgated environmental, health and safety standards, and maintain a relatively constant funding level due to budget constraints. The current budget profile will require an additional two year extension to September 1996 and D0E will submit legislation to accomplish that. In addition, legislation is also being submitted to limit the scope of Federal responsibility for this Project. Surplus Facilities Management Program The Surplus Facilities Management Program provides for the safe management and disposition of designated Nuclear Energy (NE) contaminated facilities and sites with the objective of protecting human health, the environment, and returning them to productive use, where appropriate. The program scope is based upon an initial inventory of surplus contaminated facilities established in 1978, with additions subject to specific approved acceptance criteria. Included in the program is a DOE Major Systems Acquisition (the Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project in Missouri) and two D0E Major Projects (the Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project in Pennsylvania and Battelle Columbus Laboratories in Ohio). In addition, the Weldon Spring, Missouri site and the Monticello, Utah, site are on EPA's National Priority List (Superfund). The program * 32 # . OWERVIEW - Remedial Action and Waste Technology (cont'd) strategy is to reduce potential hazards to the public and environment, maximize options for future use of property, and dispose of radioactive waste in accordance with applicable regulations and standards. The current inventory consists of 41 projects and includes ore handling and processing, reactor, laboratory, and fuel fabrication facilities. Cleanup has been completed on 11 of the 41 projects currently in the program. The current inventory of projects is now expected to be completed by approximately the year 2015. West Valley Demonstration Project Authorized under Public Law 96-368, the Project is being undertaken at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, at West Valley, New York, 30 miles southeast of Buffalo. The project goal is to demonstrate the solidification and preparation of high-level liquid waste for disposal. The project strategy is to carry out the required activities with assured protection of public health and the environment, to utilize existing J solidification technology, and to complete the Project at the earliest date and least total project cost. Implementation of the project strategy is being carried out in two phases. The first phase, consisting of the high-level waste solidification and associated activities, is scheduled for initiation in late 1996 in the context of current budget projections. The second phase includes final decontamination and decommissioning of the facilities and associated systems used by the Project. This phase will be initiated as the solidification phase approaches completion and will require between 6 and 15 years to complete. Legislation is being submitted to limit the scope of Federal responsibility for this Project. Low-Level Waste Program The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-573) and the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-240) (subsequently referred to as the Act in the balance of the LLW narrative) established national policy for disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLW). These laws assigned the States, either individually or grouped in regional compacts, responsibility for disposal of LLW generated within their borders, except for certain LLW owned or generated by D0E, and low-level waste classified as greater-than-class C. The Act assigned DOE the responsibility for disposal of greater-than-class C low-level waste and for providing technical and financial assistance to States and compact regions determined by the Secretary to require assistance for purposes of carrying out the Act. The goal of the Low-Level Waste Program is to facilitate the establishment of a reliable nationwide system for the disposal of LLW. The objectives for achieving the Program goal are to: (1) provide for disposal of greater-than-class C LLW; (2) monitor and report to Congress on the progress of States in meeting their responsibilities; and, (3) provide continuing technical assistance to the States and compact regions in development of new LLW disposal capacity. . 6 3 # OWERVIEW - Remedial Action and Waste Technology (cont'd) Byproducts Utilization This activity conducted under the Advanced Radiation Technology Program, has focused on the development of technology for the beneficial uses of radioactive materials. Irradiation of food and other agricultural commodities has been emphasized in cooperation with States, other Federal agencies, and private sector organizations. Efforts have focused on establishing irradiation projects in 6 States selected for their nearness to major agricultural commodity production and processing centers. Cooperative funding is being obtained from the regional project sponsors to supplement the Federal funding. Congress did not provide FY 1989 funding to continue these efforts and the Department is requesting no FY 1990 funding for this activity. The Department plans to transfer research results and designs for specific irradiation facilities to the project sponsors, so they can continue activities leading to completion of these projects. Congress in FY 1989 did continue support of efforts to improve radioluminescent lighting systems for use at remote airfields and other applications. This activity will also be phased out in FY 1990.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for establishing standards governing the stabilization, control, and cleanup of the tailings, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provides consultation and concurrence in the selection and performance of the remedial action at each site. The remedial action is conducted in accordance with cooperative agreements negotiated with the affected State or lindian Tribe under whose jurisdiction a site is located. The Federal Government (DOE) is responsible for paying 90 percent of the remedial action cost and the States the remaining 10 percent. When the sites are on Indian lands, the Federal Covernment pays the entire cost of the remedial action. Project implementation is based on site priorities established by a health effects analysis, on maintaining a relatively constant budget profile, and on optimizing overall project management. Nine of the sites are designated as high priority, six as medium priority, and nine as low priority. The objective of the remedial action at the processing sites is to provide long-term environmental and public health and safety protection by either stabilizing the tailings on-site where feasible, or to remove the tailings to a new disposal site. Contaminated materials removed from the vicinity properties are disposed of with the processing site tailings. The final disposal site will be Federally (DOE) owned and maintained under a license issued by the NRC. For additional details on schedules and other site specific information, please refer to the 22, one-page, Operating Expense Funded Data Sheet Project Summaries included with this submission. The Act required completion of the project within 7 years following the promulgation of final standards by the EPA, which occurred in March 1983. The Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Amendments Act of 1988 provided for extending the period of authorization until the end of FY 1994. This action was required to accommodate the scope and nature of the work required to comply with the standards, the large number of sites and vicinity properties, the impracticality of seeking or obtaining the large annual appropriations required to complete the remaining work within the 7 years of the project's original authorization, and to provide for more efficient project management. Because of budgetary constraints and a revised outyear funding profile, D0E will submit legislation requesting a two year extension, to the end of FY 1996. A.

Preface: Surplus Facilities Management Program (SFMP) The Surplus Facilities Management Program, begun in 1978, provides for the management and safe disposition of designated Nuclear Energy (NE) surplus contaminated facilities and sites. The program objective is to protect human health and the environment and return the facilities and sites to productive use, where appropriate. The program includes two sites on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Priority List (NPL), one Major Systems Acquisition (MSA) project and two Major Projects. Other projects include ore handling and processing, reactor, laboratory, and fuel fabrication facilities and sites. With the revised outyear budget profile upon which this budget submission is based, the current inventory will not be completed until approximately 2015. Cleanup has been completed on 11 of the 41 projects currently in the program. Additional facilities added to the program, consistent with NE's decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) policy, will be placed in long-term safe storage.

The Project will carry out an integrated production-scale development and demonstration project for treating the 600,000 gallons of alkaline and acidic high-level liquid nuclear wastes stored at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, near West Valley. The Center reprocessed spent nuclear fuel from 1966 to 1972. Major activities embodied in the project include: (1) decontamination required to prepare existing facilities and equipment at the Center to accommodate the solidification project; (2) removal of the wastes from the underground storage tanks; (3) development, design, construction, and operation of systems for the solidification of the wastes; (4) acquisition of containers for the permanent disposal of the solidified waste; (5) temporary storage and transportation of the solidified waste to an appropriate Federal repository for permanent disposal; (6) decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of the weste tanks, facilities, hardware, and material used in carrying out the project; and (7) disposal of low-level (LLM) and transuranic (TRU) wastes produced from project activities. Current plans are for start of solidification of the HLW by October 1996 witt.in a Total Project Cost Estimate (TPCE) of $1,106 million (Phase I - through the end of solidification). The UOE share of the TPCE is $995 million; budget figures listed below reflect the Federal share of the Project. in conducting the Project, the Department consults other interested organizations, among them the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), owner of the project site. In FY 1990 the Project will be focused on the critical elements that support processing and solidification of the liquid high-level waste. Activities not essential to achieving this objective will be deferred to later years.

The FY 1990 budget request also includes the cost of computer support previously provided by the Office of Computer Services and Telecommunications Management (CSTM) under the Assistant Secretary for Management and Administration. Funding responsibility for this computer support was transferred from CSTM to Nuclear Energy in the FY 1990 budget guidance. The computer support includes training, maintenance, hardware and software acquisitions, modifications, and other telecommunications services for each work station assigned to the Remedial Action and Waste Technology program. Continuation of this support is essential to support the effective operation of Nuclear Energy's telecommunication and word processing systems. The budget provides for continuation of 6 FTE's at Grand Junction, Colorado, to provide on-site management support to the Remedial Action programs being conducted in that region of the country and are essential for effective management of these expanding cleanup activities. The budget request also provides for 2 FTE's at the West Valley Project Office in New York, to provide added project control and management of contractor efforts. A.

The Department's mission to meet national energy and security objectives carries with it a fundamental responsibility to assure that the mission is *:::::::::: while maintaining as a Fº of operations, an acceptable level of environment, safety and health practices. . . Since the establishment of a Secretarial initiatives program in 1985, the DOE environment, safety and health oversight program has undergone a significant transition in its approach, and has evolved into a fundamentally sounder and much stronger É. ram than it was in the past. New initiatives are º or are planned in the environment, safety and ealth area to correct and strengthen additional aspects of the oversight program. Events :*::". to 1985 have demonstrated that a program of continuing improvements to the internal oversight and operational activities concerned with environment, safety and health is necessary if the Secretary's ESAH policy goals are to be met and sustained; , Chief, among these events was the Chernobyl reactor incident, and as a consequence of that event, a high level, review was requested by the Secretary and F.ſº by the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering (NAS) of DOE’s nuclear reactor operations. he NAS established the Committee to Assess Safety and Technical Issues at Department of Energy reactors. This committee was charged by the Secretary with providing, an independent assessment of the implications of the Chernobyl nuclear accident for the Department’s major º: } reactors. In its first report submitted to the Secretary in October 1987, and in a second report submitted in August 1988, the NAS Committee addressed pertinent technical safety issues at the Department's nuclear production reactors. • *.dº 3. These issues include the Department’s internal safety oversight system, the need for an external advisory oversight group, the adequacy of safety standards and needed "É. to our aging nuclear complex. The NAS review suggests that further enchancements are needed and the Department is vigorously pursuing steps that respond to the NAS recommendations. Two long-range strategic objectives focus program activities on accomplishment of the goals of the ES&H program including the improvement initiatives. 1. Improve and Strengthen Oversight of DOE Operations. The findings thus far of the Environmental Survey, the Technical Safety Appraisals and other appraisals and reviews have served to highlight the need to continue to improve and ..º. our oversight programs. The ºº:: to accomplish the oversight strategic objective couples a strong independent Headquarters, program with active Operations Office environment, *::::: and health oversight and line program responsibility to conduct their activities in accordance with the Department's environment, safety, health and quality assurance policies and requirements. With the completion of the Environmental Survey initiative in FY 1989, a program of independent environmental audits was implemented to ensure continuing compliance with applicable environmental requirements. Unlike the baseline Survey, the audits focus on regulatory compliance and on management's performance in *:::::" compliance, and will include rigorous reviews of site environmental sampling and monitoring programs. Through the Environmental Issues Coordination Process, efforts will continue to *:::iat; Federal Facility Compliance Agreements for all DOE Atomic .# Act major defense *::::::::: sites. In the NEPA area, a program of NEPA compliance appraisals, begun in FY 1989, will be implemented to ensure that DOE field offices, are properly executing their NEPA responsibilities and as a means of providing NEPA technical, assistance. This is , an area of growing importance due to a number of high priority new projects and those projects which will be necessary to deal with the aging DOE facilities complex. Although substantial gains have been made in strengthening safety oversight within DOE, it is clear that a more intensive safety oversight program is necessary given the number and hazardous nature of DOE’s diverse facilities. Overall, major efforts are being pursued to further improve the level of safety assurance afforded at nuclear and non-nuclear facilities, lºn; both internal and external oversight measures, consistent with the recommendations of the NAS report. The NAS concluded that the functions embodied in the current, EH safety organization were not comparable in quality to those utilized to assure, the safety oversight of commercial nuclear facilities. To correct, this, the EH safety offices have been reorganized and now include those roles, functions, and responsibilities that have been demonstrated over time to constitute effective safety oversight for commercial nuclear facilities. The reorganization, includes establishment of an on-site Headquarters EH presence in the field, and, follows a recommendation by NAS that EH should have a permanent and significant on-site presence. This initiative, begun in FY 1988, will be fully implemented in FY 1990. # Efforts begun in FY 1989 and continuing in FY 1990 include: o Frequent Appraisals and Aggressive Follow-up: This includes the following key components: HUTtidisci º team safety appraisals of the 8 operating Category A reactors, 14 ºte; B reactors, and .9 of the .22 high hazard non-reactor nuclear, facilities will be conducted annually. Follow-up activities will be conducted to ensure that deficiencies found in these and previous appraisals are corrected. . Design reviews will continue to be performed of all Category A reactors to determine the adequacy of the design of the reactors relative to expected margins of safety. Special diagnostic ; º will be conducted as necessary with emphasis on determining the root cause of problems or a T | UſeS e o Improved Safety Analysis Report Reviews: There has been a lºº!'"; ºr, that the DOE system for obtaining and reviewing safety analyses has not delivered the quality o *º obtained for licensed facilities. Efforts are planned to improve the overall quality of *::: Analysis Reviews (SARS), Technical_Specifications and Operational Safety Requirements. . These include reviews_of safety analysis reports, Technical Specifications and Operational Safety Requirements, for all new DOE reactors, and high-hazard non-reactor nuclear facilities; all *...*. changes, tests, or experiments involving - unreviewed safety questions; all major construction projects and Major System Acquisitions; and selected operating Category A reactors and high-hazard non-reactor facilities. These efforts will also include audits of the field office safety analyses review program dealing with identified major safety concerns of existing facilities. Special technical evaluations and reviews will be made of the safety concerns at existing facilities. o Contractor Self-Improvement Program: An important component of good safety performance is self-improvement and self-assessment safety programs, such as those sponsored by the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INP0). To date, the Department’s contractors have not had an effective institutional means to keep abreast of tºº technical safety issues, technologies, and practices which organizations such as INP0 have provided for the commercial nuclear sector. To address this, the Department has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with INP0 to provide for improved information exchange and technical assistance. But it will be necessary to complement this program with additional means to provide a range of contractor-level services, and interchanges, including improved training programs, comparable to that available to any commercial utility. o Outside Oversight: Additional outside oversight for the safety of DOE nuclear facilities is an essential G|Tement TOf Ta fºlº safety oversight program. Outside safety oversight provides a º source of outside technical advice and policy review, the value of which has been demonstrated by the outside safety reviews and the utilization of outside consultants in our Technical Safety Appraisals and other such reviews to date. The NAS recommended that the Secretary establish an external advisory committee similar to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards for commercial nuclear power §: The Department has acted on this recommendation, and an independent sº committee has been established pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act. This committee, the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Facility Safety (ACNFS), is composed of recognized experts with broad technical experience and affiliations, and reports directly to the Secretary. As proposed by NAS, this committee will be a valuable component to the oversight already provided by the Office of Environment, Safety and Health. - § 3 3. These FY 1989 initiatives are *}} complemented in FY 1990 with the establishment of a Facility Operator Training and Assistance Program (FOTAP). The Fº objectives of the FOTAP are the provision of site specific technical assistance in support of the development of training programs and direct *:::: Of training functions (e.g. łºniº courses, workshops, seminars, etc.) at selected centralized locations such as the national laboratories. Through FOTAP a yº, consistent and interactive program of operator training, accreditation and procedures development will be accomplished. 2. Provide Improved and Timely Guidance and Standards. There continues to be a need in the Department for improved guidance and standards for environment, safety, health and quality assurance. Our efforts in furtherance of this strategic objective have already made a positive impact on operations and will continue to contribute significantly toward our goal of assuring that the Department’s mission is accomplished in a safe and environmentally sound manner. In the environmental arez, the emergence of new laws and rº. increased Environmental Protection Agency, and state regulatory actions, and increased levels of environmental activities at DOE sites require intensified efforts to develop *: and compliance oversight measures. DOE is subject to both Federal and state environmental laws, and must coordinate closely with other Federal and state agencies. Priority environmental guidance activities will be concerned with applying Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements to all radioactive mixed waste facilities at 00E sites; º a DOE groundwater and soil protection strategy; continuing efforts to move the Department's Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act program into the site characterization phase; and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) guidance in support of increasing activities, particularly, those associated with the agin defense complex, and in support of a number of high priority projects including a New Production Reactor an the Clean Coal Technology Program-2. Analytical efforts will, continue on topical issues relevant to national her; and environmental policy such as acid rain, ozone depletion, indoor, air quality and ambient air quality. To support the new environmental compliance audit program, uniform auditing procedures and protocols will be developed for use Department-wide. In the safety area, the Technical sº º and other internal safety reviews as well as external reviews by outside expert groups, have highlighted the need for º: of improved safety guidance and standards and their application in the workplace. The NAS concluded that the safety oversight activities currently performed were not effective due to vague standards. . Consistent with the NAS report, a program has been established to define and implement a new framework of ::ſº objectives for DOE reactors and other nuclear facilities. Improvements in safety standards and guidance will be accelerated to assure that DOE safety requirements are clearly defined, uniform, and comparable with generally accepted safety practices for nuclear, and non-nuclear operations, including Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, and requirements. Emphasis will continue to be placed on general design criteria for various classes of facilities, formulation of standard review plans to guide safety reviews for various classes of facilities, analysis of regulatory developments of other *::::: and the development of appropriate guidance for DOE activities. Major initiatives are being pursued to develop or revise policies and procedures for nuclear *::::: including severe accident analysis, backfit determinations, jº planning, reporting, and probabilistic risk assessment. Implementation of DOE Orders at the field level will continue to be assessed and steps taken to assure uniformity through clearer standards, and to assure accountability through strengthened compliance mechanisms. 44 § Activity DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Environment, Safety and Health FY 19 Environmental Audit Environmental Guidance & Compliance NEPA Project Assistance Environmental Analysis Medical Director Safety Appraisals Safety Compliance Quality Programs ## Policy and Standards Facility Operator Training and Assistance Program *ś Committee on Nuclear Facility Safety Planning and Information Resources Management º Direction Capital Equipment Use of Unobl #: Balances and 0ther Adjustments Total FTEs 1/ 90 FY 1988 FY 1989 Base Request $26,035 $17,000 $17,000 $17,000 O ,3 ,30 7,400 1,500 2,900 2,900 4,000 2,818 6,000 6,000 4,300 250 700 700 900 4, 190 12,250 12,250 19,250 2,510 2, 100 2, 100 3,450 3, 100 6,000 6,000 8,000 15,770 18,850 18,850 23,050 - - - *- º gº 10,000 - - 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,305 3, 190 3, 190 4,000 10,239 11,400 11,800 17, 176 2, 100 3, 100 3, 100 3, 100 –7, 117 +210 276 157 215 215 1/ Excludes FTEs funded by Nuclear Waste and Clean Coal Funds. 4 5 Program Change Request Vs Base DöTſaſ Percent $0 O 3, 100 72 l, 100 38 -1,700 –28 200 29 7,000 57 1,350 64 2,000 33 4,200 22 10,000 tº º O O 810 25 5,376 46 O O 3.

Preface: Environmental Audit The :*: of the Environmental Audit, Program is to provide comprehensive, independent, Headquarters oversight of the Department's operating facilities to ensure compliance with all, applicable environmental requirements and to reduce areas of existing environmental risk. . This is accomplished through a number of activities which include: the baseline Environmental Survey of major DOE operating facilities, which was completed in FY 1989; a comprehensive system of planned and periodic environmental audits of DOE §§§ facilities; development of environmental auditing, procedures and º (in conjunction with the Office of Environmental Guidance and º for use fºr: out the Department; development and implementation of a Performance Evaluation. Program for non-Radiological monitoring at DOE operating facilities; and in coordination with the Office of Environmental Guidance and Compliance, *ś corrective action priorities DOE-wide. The program of comprehensive evironmental audits of DOE operating facilities will include rigorous reviews of site environmental sampling and monitoring programs, and the conduct of on-going º standards, programs, to assess the quality and accuracy of sampling and monitoring results obtained by the operating facilities. adiological an In FY 1989, the emphasis of the Environmental Audit Program was to complete the Environmental Survey and publish the Environmental Survey Summary Reºr: which included a DOE-wide prioritization of environmental problems and areas of environmental risk. In addition, development of the program of continuing environmental compliance, audits was completed. In FY 1990, the emphasis of the Pºr; is to conduct comprehensive environmental compliance audits of approximately 24 DOE facilities (16 Defense Programs sites and 8 non-Defense Programs sites) and 10 focused audits limited to a particular area of environmental concern, or environmental regulation. A modest sampling, and analysis component will be included as part of the environmental compliance audits and will be restricted principally to confirming results and quality assurance verification.

Preface: Environmental Guidance and Compliance The purpose of the Environmental Guidance and Compliance *:::::" is to assure DOE-wide understanding and implementation of environmental laws and º: applicable to DOE Frº. and operations, and to ensure that the Department's operating facilities are in compliance with all applicable environmental requirements. The mission is fulfilled through the development of policies and guidance documents, and standards and internal DQE Orders, which cover the full range of environmental statutes and ºº:: and §.”; a number of compliance oversight functions and responsibilities including the responsibility for the DOE Environmental Issues Coordination process. The program keeps DOE personnel abreast of emerging and changing, environmental requirements and serves as the advocate for 00E’s position with respect to other agencies' rulemaking efforts and provides a process by which significant environmental compliance issues are resolved. In addition, the program provides technical assistance and support to program and field offices in the design and implementation of corrective actions. The Fiscal Year 1990 goals of the Environmental Guidance and Compliance program include: O Continuing efforts to ensure compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements for all radioactive mixed waste facilities at DOE sites. O Continuing efforts to negotiate comprehensive Federal Facility Compliance Agreements for all DOE Defense Programs facilities and energy research facilities, including §cſ; section 120 agreements. O Continuing efforts to ensure appropriate actions are taken in response to findings from the DOE Environmental Survey and the environmental audits. O º efforts to assist the Department in its Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and .*. ity Act (CERCLA) program into the remedial investigation/feasibility study and remedial action phases. O Continuing efforts to ensure the Department's radiation, protection program for the public and the environment meets all DOE-internal and other agency protection requirements.

($1,300) § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY AND HEALTH I. Preface: NEPA Project Assistance This program :*:: the timely implementation of the Department's proposed actions by assuring compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related environmental review, requirements that are necessary prior to §:"; development. The Office is responsible for the oversight of NEPA-related activities in all 00E *...*. areas, covering the full range of energy technologies and environmental issues. Because compliance with NEPA is a prerequisite to implementation of many of the Department's programs and projects, timely and *::::A; EPA documents are critical to the attainment of the Department's program objectives. The Office of NEPA Project Assistance performs a variety of NEPA assurance and project assistance functions which fall into two major categories; NEPA Document Review, and NEPA Policy and Guidance. NEPA Document Review involves several activities, lºº review of highly complex, project documents for technical accuracy and adequacy, appropriateness of analytical *Frº and application of Scientific *::::::::"; review of Department projects and programs for potential applicability of NEPA and related environmental requirements (e.g., endangered species, wetlands and floodplain protection, historic and archaeological sites, etc.); technical assistance in the preparation of NEPA and related environmental documents *:::: environmental assessments and environmental impact ::::"...}; independent review of NEPA and related environmental documents; and coordination with other Federal agencies. NEPA Policy and Guidance involves the preparation and distribution of NEPA compliance policy documents and notices, guidance memoranda and manuals, project coordination for Major Systems Acquisition projects, program office compliance appraisals, and NEPA compliance training for program office personnel. The FY 1990 workload for NEPA Document Review is made up of routine NEPA support, which is generally commensurate with the P.". development activities of the Department, as well as the continuation of a number of major projects begun in 1989. This workload is determined by the demands of DOE program offices for routine NEPA support and oversight services, and includes new projects and facilities as well as modifications to existing facilities. Program areas include defense Fº rams (e.g., new facilities such as the Special Isotope Separation project, modifications to existing facilities, and waste management facilities); nuclear energy (e.g., new reactor technologies, uranium mill tailings remedial actions, and cleanup of surplus facilities, and formerly-utilitzed sites); fossil, energy (e.g., innovative technologies, petroleum reserves development, and asset divestiture); power marketing policy and transmission line projects; energy research (e.g., high energy Pººj; magnetic fusion, and particle, accelerators); regulatory projects, conservation and renewable projects, and international activities. 5 7 § In addition to the routine NEPA activities, the NEPA workload grew substantially between FY 1988 and FY 1989 as a consequence of several new and highly complex activities. These include the Superconducting Super Collider, New Production Reactor, the Clean Coal Technology Program (CCTP), and the Innovative CCTP. In FY 1990, the increased NEPA workload is expected to continue, commensurate with the project development activities of the Department. In addition, substantial new work is , anticipated in response to the NEPA requirements of the Defense Programs (*) Modernization effort. This work will involve both highly complex Fºl.

Preface: Safety Appraisals The Office of Safety º: provides independent oversight of all DOE-owned, contractor-operated nuclear facilities to assure that DOE’s nuclear safety responsibilities are properly fulfiiled. This "oversight includes conducting independent #ººl; reviews, and technical evaluations of the design, operation, and management of DOE’s nuclear facilities. Recent technical safety appraisals, design reviews, and other reviews of nuclear safety issues have revealed the need for increased oversight and major upgrades at a number of DOE facilities. The cold standdown of N. Reactor, the reduction of power of the Savannah River Production Reactors because of emergency core cooling system concerns, and the shutdown of the Category B ;:::::: at Oak Ridge National Laboratory because of management concerns demonstrate the importance of this UNCTC 1 On , The Department has made a commitment to :*::". the safety appraisal effort. The Fº objective of the Safety *::::: Program is to evaluate the overall safety performance of the field organizations and contractors in operating reactors, and high hazard and select moderate-hazard nuclear facilities. An important element of the *::::: is the conduct of multidisciplinary, team safety appraisals, management reviews, functional appraisals and other engineering, assessments/audits as necessary of contractor and field office operations in order, to determine compliance with Departmental safety policies, standards, gºliance, and good practices. Starting in FY 1990, multidisciplinary team safety *::::::: of the 8 operating :::::::: reactors, fourteen (14) :*ś B reactors, (including critical facilities), and 9 of the twenty-two (22) high hazard nonreactor, nuclear facilities will be conducted annually. Follow-up activities to ensure that deficiencies found in these and previous appraisals have been corrected are included in this program, Multidisciplinary team safety *::::A; of a small, percentage of the 108 moderate hazard facilities will be performed based on available funding and the risks associated with these facilities. *::::: reviews will be performed of all Category A reactors to determine the adequacy of the design of the reactors relative to expected margins of safety. A second element of the Safety ºr: Program includes efforts to improve the overall quality of Safet Analysis Reviews ºi Technical Specifications and Operational Safety Requirements. These efforts wil include Headquarters ES&H reviews of safety analysis, reports, Technical Specifications and Operational Safety Requirements for all new DOE reactors and high hazard nonreactor nuclear facilities; all proposed changes, tests, or experiments involving unreviewed safety questions (e.g., nuclear criticality safety); all major construction projects and º: System Acquisitions; and selected º Category A reactors and high hazard nonreactor nuclear facilities.

Preface: Safety Policy and Standards The overall mission of the Office of Safety Policy and Standards (0SPS) is to assure the adequacy and the timely issuance of VOE safety polices and standards through a coherent, comprehensive, and consistent :*: to the development and implementation of the Department's safety policy. . The OSPS is the central point for coordination within DOE and for liaison with other agencies and groups in the development of safety, health and quality assurance related regulations, standards, and requirements; and resolution of issues applicable to DOE operations, including review of *:::::: statutes, regulations, standards, and requirements for their ; ication to and potential impact on DOE activities. The OSPS also oversees management and operational support, and coordination of DOE’s operational radiation protection programs and response to nuclear accidents and incidents. The currency and soundness of the Department's safety requirements are essential to effective performance of the self-regulatory role. 0SPS was established in response to the need for a focused organizational function in safety policy development, a regulatory role served by NRC for the commercial nuclear industry. Consistent with recommendations of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering (*): the scope and content of DOE safety orders, standards, and guidelines are being evaluated and revised to assure their adequacy. This entails an ongoing process of identifying, safety policy, gaps, inadequacies, and issues; evaluating available options; developing directives and standards, provi † #". nes for implementation, and monitoring their effectiveness in ####". The continuing review of NRC regulations and industry nuclear safety standards are a fundamental part of this process. In addition to prescribing acceptable safety performance, policies are developed for safety review and ::::::: *f; ncluding performance of safety analyses, nuclear facility backfit, and notification and reporting. Guidance on the conduct and application of probabilistic risk assessments (PRA's) to nuclear facility operations is an essential feature to the risk-based :::::::: to safety performance being engendered in DOE safety policy, appraisals, and operations. Appropriate analytical methodologies are also being developed to support independent assessments of safety analyses. The OSPS is responsible for programs to assure safety excellence in operations beyond minimum compliance, as a means to optimize safety margins. These programs encompass a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INP0) and a complementary contractor self-improvement program directed at Bºº. safety excellence in all DOE operations. With management direction ſº ed by the Office of vironment, Safety and Health, these programs, are *::::::: to foster cooperative standards development and safety reviews between DOE contractors, and enhance technological capabilities and vigilance within the Department (a key NAS recommendation). 279 : Coupled with its crosscutting policy role, OSPS also provides functional safety Fº in emergency preparedness, health physics, risk assessment, and training. In addition to policy development and overview, these º: provide D0E-wide support and assistance, technical resources, and integration of the DOE program with external :::::::: and organizations, such as INP0. To assure a consistent #;"| to applied safety research, and technical assessment on these and other technical subjects, 0SPS prov des a coordination role by establishing criteria, priorities, and tracking pertinent safety research. # Office of Safety Policy and Standards will conduct, the DOE Laboratory Accreditation, Program pºur).

In 1977, the Department of Energy (DOE) assumed lead agency responsibility for government-sponsored research on the safety and environmental control of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As this program developed, its scope was enlarged to address safety issues of other materials with potential hazards similar to those of LNG, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). This effort was known as the DOE liquefied Gaseous Fuels (LGF) Safety Research Program, and was the culmination of the Government's effort to protect public health and safety as well as the environment from the potentially hazardous effects of these materials. Additional research and testing is required to determine the effects of LGF spills of larger quantities and higher spill rates, and to obtain data on other hazardous materials. A Congressional initiative to provide a permanent Spill Test Facility to conduct this research was approved in September 1982 and funds were included in the FY 1984 Appropriation Bill. The Nevada Test Site was designated for construction of the Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility to be located at the Frenchman Flat area because it provides a uniquely favorable environment in which to perform large-scale atmospheric dispersion tests. The Spill Test Facility will permit spill tests at larger volumes and will allow safety research on a broader range of hazardous materials. & * r “ . . ‘se - we' § Construction was completed and the facility became operational during FY 1986. It can now provide the test bed for the development of safety and environmental control information needed by government regulatory agencies, industry, and the general public to assure the protection of the public health and safety as well as the environment from the potentially hazardous effects of accidental releases of liquefied gaseous fuels and other toxic liquids. The Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility (LGFSTF) program has significantly increased the available knowledge of LGF hazard phenomena through the successful execution of small, medium and large scale releases of LNG and large scale releases of hydrogen fluoride. These tests have led to the development of necessary models, established a basis of background technical information and have provided the information required to conduct 307 : release prevention and control assessments. This knowledge has practical application as a basis for regulatory decisions, industry actions and private information relating to LGF safety issues. The industrial community has become more aware of the facility because of these tests and are considering similar releases with other toxic or hazardous chemicals of public concern. During FY 1987, Congress, through Section 118(n) of Public Law 99-499 (Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986), headed "Spill Control Technology", directed the Secretary of Energy (1) to establish a test program at the LGFSTF to evaluate technologies responsive to spill releases of hazardous materials; (2) to conduct a technology transfer program; and (3) to arrange for the use of the LGFSTF in carrying out the provisions of the subsection. In the House Energy and Water Development Report which accompanies the FY 1987 Continuing Appropriations Act, the Committee directed the DOE to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a long-range plan for collaborative research at the LGFSTF. The work to be performed under the MOU will allow the DOE/EPA/DOT in coordination with the private sector, states and other agencies to develop, structure and prioritize the establishment of a generic, national research and development (R&D) program germane to heavier than air gas dispersion, hazardous substance releases and related mitigating technologies. The collaborative R&D approach will allow industry and government to cooperate in a broad range of R&D activities that may serve both industry interests and provide a broad technology base in Support of national and state LGF-related environmental concerns. Further, this venue will assure that federal funds are utilized to optimum advantage and applied to those research efforts that are most responsive to the environmental well-being of the nation. The overall goals of the Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility Program are to: 0 design, construct, and make available on a user-fee basis a facility suitable for conducting spill tests of liquefied gaseous fuels and other toxic liquids, and o promote the development by users of liquefied gaseous fuels and toxic liquids, of an experimentally-verified technical data base that will aid in the prevention, mitigation, cleanup, and prediction of environmental effects of spills of these materials. o Structure, formulate and manage a collaborative long-range research and development program to evaluate technologies responsive to accidental releases of hazardous materials. 0 conduct a technology transfer program germane to LGF-related activities. 308 f The specific objectives of these goals through use of the test facility are to: o develop and validate the release behavior of LGF and other toxic hazardous chemicals in sufficient depth to provide a firm technical foundation for development of industry standards and promulgation of regulations. o investigate, develop, and validate methods for preventing accidental LGF and other toxic or hazardous chemicals spills. o investigate, develop, and validate methods for controlling the consequences of accidental LGF and other toxic or hazardous chemical releases. - o establish an MOU among DOE/EPA/DOT to provide the basis for the establishment of the long-range collaborative research plan. Operation of the Test Facility by the Federal Government on a cost recovery basis for users is key under these goals. § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility FY 1988 Actual Liquefied gaseous fuels spill test facility (ESRD) Operating expenses ............................

The responsibilities stem from concerns that the energy technologies, which contribute so substantially to the material well being of the American people, may also have adverse health and environmental impacts. The opportunities arise because many of these same technologies, and the intellectual and physical resources underlying their development, have made major contributions to the health and welfare of society, and hold promise for even greater contributions in the future. A central goal of the Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program is to maximize the opportunities of new technologies for the nation while helping to minimize the dangers and adverse affects due to them. The BER program has two main objectives: (1) to develop the knowledge base necessary to identify, understand and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development; and (2) to utilize the Department's unique scientific and technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in medicine and biology. w Major program activities performed to achieve these objectives include: O Biological research to quantify human health risks of exposure to radiation and chemicals via epidemiological studies, with increasing emphasis on molecular, biochemical and cellular endpoints; and research to correlate the relation between local dose, molecular changes and biological responses, especially carcinogenesis and mutagenesis with model cellular and animal systems. Such efforts are contributing to the resolution of: hazards of indoor radon exposure; attributable risk of cancer and genetic damage from radiation and copollutant exposures; risk coefficients for actinides and fission products; and neutron quality factors for the nuclear industry. 319 § Life science research emphasizing molecular and cellular studies to elucidate how key biological processes operate, including structural biology to define structure/function relationships of macromolecules so crucial for advances in biotechnology. Another major focus is in molecular genetics to reveal DNA damage and repair mechanisms and to improve tools and methodology for deciphering the nature of the human genome. Success will establish at the genetic level: the basis for individual susceptibility to disease (e.g. cancer, heart disease); the technology to define risks; and the data base for establishing health protection standards. Other technology transfer benefits will also be derived from such research by improving options for environmental waste control, producing and utilizing biomass, agriculture, industrial biotechnology and the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disease. Measurement science and dosimetry research to develop new and more sensitive technologies for physical, chemical and biological measurements of energy-related emissions, human exposures and their responses. Nuclear medicine research to develop new radioisotopes, labeled compounds, clinical procedures, including boron neutron capture therapy, and visualization devices for improved diagnosis and treatment of human diseases and the study of human physiological processes, such as brain and heart function. Current efforts are beginning to develop high field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for studying metabolic regulation in intact organs and to exploit synchrotron radiation for a safer angiography assay. T ‘’A § * Environmental sciences research to determine the pathways and mechanisms by which energy-related agents move through and are modified by the atmosphere, oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems to impact humans; and to determine how the environment itself may be affected and the impacts mitigated. Issues being addressed include acid rain; carbon dioxide and global climate effects; resiliency of ecosystems and marine coastal areas to energy activities; management of radiation and chemical wastes; and atmospheric and landscape modeling of impacts from energy development in different terrains. This program has sponsored research into the biological consequences of exposure to ionizing radiation since the initial stages of the Manhattan Engineering District. A National Radiobiology Repository is needed to bring together this information in a common, comprehensive resource. One DOE laboratory will be designated as the repository site and will gather and catalog materials from researchers throughout the United States. The database and information repositories will be a resource for those interested in interspecies modeling to humans, comparison of various modalities of radiation exposure, extrapolation to low doses, and microdosimetry. 320 § The structural biology program, although small, is a highly regarded program of research built primarily around unique user-type facilities at DOE laboratories. This program is ready to expand, and thus stimulate progress in biotechnology and technology transfer by taking advantage of unique research resources that exist in D0E laboratories. An ongoing effort will be expanded in FY 1990 to develop new information for cost-effective management and remediation of contamination from DOE wastes. Research will : emphasize the development of accurate, noninvasive and inexpensive methods such as fiber optic sensors and seismic tomography to eliminate costly well drilling with its potential for cross contamination of aquifers when assessing subsurface wastes; improve our understanding of the factors influencing mobility of mixed wastes through soil in order that shallow low-level burial sites can be operated more safely and cost effectively; and develop new methods for decontaminating subsurface toxic organic wastes. The human genome project, formally initiated by BER in FY 1987, is increasingly being recognized by the scientific community here and abroad as one of modern biology's most significant initiatives. The Department's role reflects: the necessary combination of intellectual and physical resources (including engineering, computational and biomedical expertise); the experience and infrastructure for managing high technology, interdisciplinary projects involving national laboratories, universities and industry; and, of course, the mission need for the project's results. The new tools and methodologies to be developed under this project will markedly increase the pace and lower the cost for mapping and sequencing the human genome, saving 1-2 billion dollars and 50-100 years in time over current capabilities. The proposed level of effort will enable DOE to maintain its momentum in this area. This year, the program will include initiation of physical mapping efforts for chromosomes where this is not already underway, provide necessary support to DOE Human Genome Centers and other large interdisciplinary efforts to create the critical mass necessary to most effectively develop needed new technologies, build prototype technology for testing and validation, and begin pilot sequencing projects to evaluate and compare new sequencing technologies. Carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect linked to global climate change has become a national and international science and energy policy issue and is emerging as a major issue. The current science base for the carbon dioxide issue is not ready for energy policy action. Additional funds are requested in FY 1990 to provide for the extension of data necessary for developing future energy policy options.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH Preface: Analytical Technology Population exposure underlies both the development of risk coefficients and an assessment of projected health impacts. This exposure may be estimated by characterization of the radiation or chemical source combined with the application of suitable mathematical models which compute the exposure of the receptor population. Alternatively, exposure may be determined by direct measurement using appropriate personnel or area monitoring instrumentation. The analytical technology program develops and evaluates the instrumentation and computational technology required to address this responsibility. A.

Preface: Discharges and disturbance from energy sources can be localized or distributed regionally and worldwide. Environmental Research This program addresses the transport of discharges and their behavior through the atmosphere, marine and terrestrial ecosystems at different spatial scales, and over different time sequences. This information is essential to determine exposure and influence of these materials and their byproducts on the environment and the resiliency of biological systems to disturbance. The broadness of this charge requires focusing on a few selected but important areas of research that provide the information for developing unifying concepts that can be translated into solving current and future energy/environmental concerns. The atmospheric program has two distinct components. clouds and precipitation, air-surface exchange and the role of organics. of enhancing the emergency preparedness and response systems at key DOE installations. 227 The first is in the area of atmospheric chemistry and addresses the processing of pollutants by The second explores transport and diffusion over complex terrain with a goal 3. Environmental Research (Cont'd) The marine program concentrates on the exchange of materials hetween the continental shelf and the open ocean. Close collaboration with Federal agencies working in the open ocean and space makes this progr, m pivotal in understanding dynamics of the ocean margins and their influence on both land and open ocean. The terrestrial transport program concentrates on the transport of materials through the subsurface soils and ground water systems and in evaluating microbial communities in deep sediments. Ecosystem functioning and response is designed to develop the fundamental theoretical basis needed to understand complex ecological systems and to apply these to experimental DOE field sites designated as National Environmental Research Parks and in Arctic Alaska.

Preface: Health Effects Research in this program is conducted to develop a broad, scientifically sound data base for evaluating the potentially adverse health effects that could result from exposures to radiation and chemical agents most relevant to Department of Energy programs. One subprogram utilizes human epidemiological data obtained from selected human populations known to have been acutely exposed to moderately high, or to chronically low levels of external radiation, internally deposited radioactive materials, or energy-related materials. The other subprogram is designed to provide detailed health effects data, including data on mechanisms by which health effects are induced and expressed, which cannot be obtained from human studies. This subprogram makes use of experimental animals, as they are useful models for human beings. In addition, animal organ and tissue cultures, as well as animal and human cell cultures, are extensively used. Both subprograms will increasingly emphasize molecular-level studies. There is also a small subprogram in radiation and chemical physics, that addresses the physical mechanisms of radiobiological action and development of new instruments to analyze biological systems.

Preface: Carbon Dioxide Reasearch The goal of the Carbon Dioxide Research program is to develop a sound, quantitative atmospheric carbon dioxide knowledge base to aid in energy policy decision making. This goal involves the following objectives: improve knowledge of the global carbon cycle; improve estimates of future atmospheric carbon dioxide; project global and regional climatic response to increasing atmospheric CO2; improve understanding of the direct carbon dioxide effects on productivity of natural and agricultural systems; develop and verify methods for the first detection of global climate change due to increasing atmospheric CO2; develop the means to understand and quantify the consequences of the direct and indirect effects of C02 and climate change on defined resources on a regional basis; define possible options for mitigating long-term consequences of a higher C02 atmosphere. Increased emphasis will be placed on the oceans and clouds program due to great uncertainty of their effects on global climate change. A.

The Magnetic Fusion program is an important part of the Department’s efforts to achieve this goal in the long term. The program is being conducted according to the Magnetic Fusion Program Plan (MFPP) which was developed in 1985. The main goal of the magnetic fusion program is to establish the scientific and technological base required for an assessment of the feasibility of fusion energy. This goal was chosen with consideration of the constraints on Federal spending, the variable energy supply situation, and the excellent technical progress in fusion research. The MFPP takes full advantage of the budgetary and scientific leverage to be gained through international collaboration. It also recognizes the importance of fusion as a means to improve relations with other nations. The MFPP has been accepted by the fusion community. The strategy for providing this scientific and technological base is two-fold: (1) maintenance of a domestic R&D program that covers the necessary range of fusion science and technology adequately, and (2) use of international collaboration to advance the program in a timely way, especially through joint projects. The remaining work that must be accomplished to reach the program goal can be summarized by defining four key technical issues. The issues are associated with determining the properties of burning plasmas, improving magnetic confinement systems, formulating fusion materials and developing fusion nuclear technology. These issues have been agreed to by the Economic Summit Member's Fusion Working Group as the focus for planning future international research facilities. The U.S. program research on these issues constitutes the basis for participation in the world fusion program. The first of these issues concerns the properties of burning plasmas. Understanding the properties of burning plasmas is required to complete the scientific base for fusion. No experimental facility presently exists anywhere in the world to investigate this fundamental issue. Given the resources represented by the scientific personnel and infrastructure at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, the United States is in the best technical position to proceed with such an experiment. As part of joint international planning to avoid needless duplication of costly facilities, the European Community and Japan have encouraged the United States to undertake a Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) on a timely basis to complement their extensive programs on the other key technical issues. 365 § The schedule for the CIT project, the architect-engineering design of which was initiated in FY 1988, is influenced by both domestic and international program considerations. A timely U.S. CIT would provide vital information to the world program on how to design, build and operate a full fledged Fusion Engineering Test Reactor in the ignited mode, saving several years of costly exploratory research on such a reactor itself. The Magnetic Fusion Advisory Committee, ERAB, and an international scientific review team have all endorsed the scientific importance of this experiment. The funding proposed in this budget allows the U.S. to use the information base available from current experiments to prepare for its own next step and to retain the possibility of providing a fair contribution to the world fusion program. The second key technical issue concerns magnetic confinement systems. Significant progress continues to be made in understanding the confinement process. Confinement is now sufficient to achieve energy breakeven and to design an ignition experiment. Improved understanding of confinement, combined with burning plasma physics from the CIT experiment is expected to reduce the cost of development and future application of fusion energy. This budget request provides for an increased emphasis on understanding confinement in tokamaks. Research on this key issue is being closely coordinated internationally to maintain the broadest scientific coverage at minimum cost. The third key issue concerns the identification and testing of materials for fusion systems. Not only is materials research vital to a successful experimental fusion program today but it is also the key to realizing the benefits of fusion. Materials play a central role in determining the environmental characteristics of a fusion reactor. Achievement of the program goal requires the development of new materials to enhance the economic and environmental potential of fusion. As part of the program's international strategy, this issue is being pursued through cooperative agreements which provide significant foreign contributions toward the operation of U.S. research facilities. The proposed FY 1990 budget supports the core research program needed for U.S. participation in this international effort. § The fourth key issue concerns developing the nuclear technology of fusion systems. This development requires advances in the basic engineering sciences, as well as the application of the results of basic fusion materials research. A fusion blanket performs several functions, including converting the energy released by a fusion reaction into useful energy, creating part of the fuel for the reactor, and allowing for recovery of this fuel, as well as shielding critical machine components from radiation. This issue will be completely resolved only when fuel producing blankets are integrated with other fusion systems and tested in a nuclear environment. This budget supports the basic technology research that underlies the development of blankets for a full fledged Fusion Engineering Test Reactor. International collaboration has become a major resource for the development of fusion energy. The fusion program has a long history of scientific exchange and cooperation. The Economic Summit process has provided a mechanism for developing an integrated fusion program for the Western allies. Through a series of important international collaborative arrangements the program has made a great deal of progress toward this goal in the past. Following U.S./USSR discussions at the Geneva Summit, in which the Soviets proposed a joint U.S./USSR 366 # º : reactor building project, the U.S. agreed to an international joint effort, including the USSR as well as Japan and the European Community (EC), to develop a single conceptual design for an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) by the end of 1990, under the IAEA auspices. This year work on ITER was initiated at a level equivalent to $64 million per year, equally supported by the U.S., EC, Japan and the USSR. This budget provides for continued U.S. participation in the conceptual design and validating R&D for an international ITER. The FY 1990 budget request attempts to accommodate the Congressional mandate to maintain a strong domestic fusion program while recognizing the need to constrain fiscal expenditures. This focus of the fusion program will be on ignition physics issues and improved understanding of confinement. It also gives a high priority to improving our understanding of tokamak confinement and how confinement could be improved. Deuterium-Tritium preparation on TFTR will be delayed to allow experiments focused on confinement to continue. The Princeton Beta Experiment (PBX) facility will be mothballed and the mirror program completed. Technology development needs for TFTR, CIT and ITER will be supported. Longer range materials research and the nuclear technology program will continue at the basic research level. Magnetic confinement improvement experiments will continue with reliance placed on international collaboration to cover some of the scientific issues. Overall U.S. efforts will be pursued at minimal levels and will be augmented significantly through international collaboration. In summary, this budget provides for a minimum level U.S. fusion program focused clearly on the key technical issues and interwoven tightly with other world fusion programs through international collaboration. The focus is on ignition physics issues based on TFTR and CIT. Experimental efforts aimed at improving toroidal confinement will be intensified and an awareness program in fusion technology will continue. 367 # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Magnetic Fusion Energy Program Change Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 b/ ------------------------ Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Operating Expenses Confinement Systems. . . . . . . . . . $159,605 . $174,754 $174,754 $168, 150 $- 6,604 - 4 Applied Plasma Physics. . . . . . . 74,775 78, 155 78, 155 73,215 – 4,940 – 6 Development and Technology. .. 55,915 54, 145 54, 145 56,700 + 2,555 + 5 Planning and Projects. . . . . . . . 869 5,000 5,000 4,900 - 100 - 2 Program Direction. . . . . . . . . . . . 4,600 4,600 4,600 5,000 + 400 + 9 Subtotal Operating Expenses. . 295,764 316,654 316,654 307,965 - 8,689 - 3 Capital Equipment. . . . . . . . . . . . . 18,685 21,635 21,635 13,185 - 8,450 - 39 Construction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16,900 12,400 12,400 28, 100 +15,700 +127 Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 331,349 a/ 350,689 350,689 349,250 - 1,439 0 à Program Change Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 b/ ------------------------ Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . .

These issues are investigated through experimental research on controlling and heating the plasmas required for a magnetic fusion energy source. This research is conducted primarily on toroidal configurations, which have been proven most effective in providing the necessary plasma parameters, and involves developing the data base needed to prepare for a burning plasma experiment and to identify an optimum confinement system. The approach used is to build upon theory, modeling, and previous experimental results to extend the data base and to fabricate new devices with specific technical goals when additional information is needed to complete the data base. The primary scientific issues being addressed by this research are energy confinement, heating, plasma stability, edge physics and particle control, and current drive. Energy confinement is a major critical issue affecting the size and cost of a fusion reactor. In a reactor, the plasma must initially be heated to a high temperature for the fusion reactions to occur, and at this high temperature, the plasma thermal energy must be sufficiently well contained that the heating power from the fusion reactions sustains the plasma. The research on this topic involves using and understanding auxiliary heating methods, such as neutral beam heating and radiofrequency (rf) wave heating, to heat a plasma to high temperatures and then using sophisticated diagnostics to characterize, understand, and reduce energy transport in a high temperature plasma. This work is carried out in close cooperation with experimental groups and theory groups in the Applied Plasma Physics subprogram. As the temperature and density of a reacting plasma increase, the plasma pressure increases and the production of fusion power increases. Plasma stability research concerns understanding the limited range of plasma pressure which can be stably supported at a given magnetic field. The ratio of plasma pressure to the confining magnetic field pressure is referred to as beta. Since achievable magnetic fields are limited, experiments are carried out with alternate plasma shapes and operating modes predicted to reduce the required confining magnetic field. These experiments include attempts at obtaining a predicted second regime of stability at even higher beta. The current drive issue addresses operation in a steady state mode as opposed to a pulsed mode. The primary advantage of steady state operation in a reactor is that it will reduce component fatigue problems. Planned experiments will attempt to drive continuous currents in tokamaks with radio frequency. The final technical issue is edge physics and particle control. Impurities dilute the fuel, cool the plasma, and cause it to contract and become unstable. Thus, impurities must be controlled throughout the period of operation. A major source of these impurities is particles hitting the vessel walls. Studies are being conducted to ensure that the plasma is kept as clean as possible by reducing the generation of impurities and by 371 # Confinement Systems (Cont'd) isolating the impurities that are generated. A relate; issue concerns methods of fueling to replenish the reacting ions. Current experiments are testing fueling by injection of frozen pellets. It is now recognized that edge physics and particle control can have a significant effect on the energy confinement time. - Research is being conducted on several toroidal devices to investigate the above mentioned physics issues and to prepare for performing the burning plasma physics experiments on TFTR and on CIT. The cortfinement of high temperature plasmas will be studied in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) device at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). Experiments on the confinement, beta, and current drive issues will be carried out on the Doublet-III-D device at General Atomics (GA). The objective of the Alcator C Modification facility at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is to study rf heating energy confinement, and current ramp-up in a high field, high density plasma. The former Alcator-C tokamak has been moved to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and renamed the Microwave Tokamak Experiment (MTX). This provides LLNL with the unique target plasma capability to test the application of pulsed high power microwaves as a more efficient heating technique in tokamak devices. International collaboration will be relied on to carry out research on a number of related plasma issues in foreign facilities including Textor and ASDEX in West Germany, Tore Supra in France, Joint European Torus (JET) in Europe, JIPP-T-IIU and JT-60 in Japan. The PBX device at PPPL will be put into a non-active status and will not complete its research program until the TFTR D-T program has been completed. A concentrated U.S. analysis effort has been underway to establish the physics basis for achieving ignition and burn, using the experimental data base from these U.S. and foreign experiments. Achievement of ignition has always been an essential objective of magnetic fusion research. We have now reached the point where experimental progress justifies proceeding with an ignition experiment. The construction and successful operation of CIT would demonstrate the fundamental feasibility of magnetic fusion, provide key support to the President's initiative to conduct a joint International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor program, and maintain the scientific progress in the U.S. fusion program. This budget continues the design and R&D effort to build such an ignition device. It is planned to be built at PPPL, using the TFTR facilities, by a national physics and engineering team. It is the essential next step in the U.S. Fusion Program and it has been incorporated into international planning. Work on identifying an optimum toroidal confinement system will be conducted on the Advanced Toroidal Facility (ATF) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This device will explore regimes that are theoretically predicted to produce much higher betas than present tokamaks. With its external field coils, ATF will also test the feasibility of running high-beta plasmas in steady state. Upgrades and modifications to existing devices are supported by major device fabrication (MDF) projects. These projects increase the inherent capability of the devices in a cost effective way as progress is made towards understanding the relevant physics issues. The only remaining MDF project is the C-Mod at MIT which will be completed in FY 1990. All Mirror Fusion Test Facility-B support will end in FY 1990.

Preface: Applied Plasma Physics The Applied Plasma Physics subprogram also has a major role in addressing the magnetic confinement and burning plasma issues. Applied Plasma Physics conducts research on basic magnetic confinement physics, including non-tokamak configurations and supports and supplements research performed in the Confinement Systems subprogram by developing information on new techniques for diagnostics and for plasma heating and control and by developing basic data necessary to design and conduct larger scale fusion experiments. Activities include: theoretical and experimental physics support, research on advanced fusion concepts, and large-scale computing capability. In Advanced Fusion Concepts, the scientific understanding of magnetically confined plasmas is being pursued through experiments with varying magnetic configurations. Configurations currently being evaluated are categorized by the names Reversed Field Pinch (RFPs), Field Reversed Configurations . 277 # Preface: Applied Plasma Physics (Cont'd) (FRCs), and Spheromaks. These configurations offer particular technological advantages in reactor embodiments. They all offer high beta plasmas, that is, high power density within the plasma and consequent efficient use of the applied magnetic fields. RFP's should not require auxiliary heating. FRC's and spheromaks have simple magnet systems but different stability properties. Each of these configurations provide a different physical environment in which magnetically confined plasma obeys the same overall physical laws governing plasma stability and transport of energy and particles within the plasma. Thus the study of these different configurations provides unique insights valuable to the understanding and mathematical approximation of physical laws governing the behavior of magnetically confined plasma. Design of an RFP, the first configuration to be tested in the CPRF, is also underway. During FY 1990 these configurations will be studied through the following research: an operation of an RFP device at U. of Wisconsin, completion and first operation of an FRC device at Spectra Technology with supporting work at U. of Washington and Spheromak research at U. of Maryland. Continuation of the Confinement Physics Research Facility is supported under the Construction account. Plasma processes that determine the success of magnetic confinement are complex. The Fusion Plasma Theory and Experimental Plasma Research branches supply basic tools for understanding these plasma processes and in FY 1990 emphasis will be given to applying these tools to current tokamaks. Also, new ideas for plasma heating or control will be given small scale tests. Theory supports development of models and mathematical techniques to describe and predict the behavior of magnetically confined plasma. In FY 1990 specific emphasis will be given to fundamental predictions and modelling of processes controlling transport of energy and particles in toroidal plasma. Activities will also include modelling to predict and interpret plasma heating by ion cylotron waves (ICRF), electron cyclotron waves (ECH) and fast alpha particles generated within the fusion reaction. In addition, general models are developed to extract physics features common to different confinement geometries and to develop predictive capability for parameter ranges not yet explored. This work uses both analytical and numerical techniques and is located at universities, national laboratories and industrial contractors. The Experimental Plasma Research activity provides experimental techniques, basic data, and fundamental physics information required to operate and interpret present major confinement experiments. In FY 1990, at selected tokamaks, diagnostics will be installed and applied that can measure properties associated with energy and particle transport. Also, new diagnostic techniques required for measuring plasma properties will be developed and tested. Atomic data necessary for understanding plasma behavior will be obtained and compiled. New ideas currently receiving first tests are directed to improved heating and current drive, better particle and energy control and plasma stability at higher betas. Most of this work is at universities, with some activities at national laboratories and industry as well. The Energy Sciences computing network provides access to state-of-the-art computational hardware (CRAY 1 and CRAY 2 computers). The network facilities provide support for the development of models and codes of plasma theory, for management and interpretation of experimental results, and for design of large scale fusion experiments. The network consists of the computers at LLNL and five user service centers at LLNL, LANL, General Atomic, PPPL, and 0RNL, together with international data links and telephone line access by smaller users.

Preface: Development and Technology The Development and Technology subprogram provides for the development of the technologies needed for present and future fusion experiments and for design and analysis of fusion systems. The work is divided into three main areas: Plasma Technologies, Fusion Technologies, and Fusion, Systems Analysis. Plasma Technologies covers the development of those technologies that are needed to form, contain, heat and sustain a reacting fusion plasma. technologies include magnetic systems, plasma heating systems, and plasma fueling systems. These The principal activity in magnetic systems is to develop reliable superconducting magnets that are necessary to provide the magnetic field conditions required to confine the deuterium and tritium plasma. The heating program focuses on the technologies required to heat the plasma ions and electrons to reactive conditions and encompasses several 382 É Preface: Development and Technology (Cont'd) electromagnetic wave heating approaches including electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) techniques. The plasma fueling systems efforts develop high speed deuterium and tritium pellet injectors to maintain the proper amount of plasma fuel. Use of the developed heating and fueling systems has enabled the production of record plasma conditions in fusion devices and this U.S. technology is in much demand * internationally. Projected experiments in higher density and higher temperature plasmas will necessitate continued development of higher power, longer pulse length, and higher frequency electromagnetic wave sources, transmission components, and improved fueling devices. Fusion Technologies covers issues that are concerned with the systems in contact with the plasma and the effects of neutrons produced by the plasma. The goal of this area of research is to provide the information necessary to establish that magnetic fusion is a viable energy source with publicly acceptable environmental and safety characteristics. This program element includes development of heat extraction/blanket components, nuclear analysis methods, tritium production, tritium processing and control systems, materials, and environment and safety issues. The materials program element is developing reduced activation materials that will reduce the need for long term waste disposal and limit the degradation due to the bombardment of neutrons inside the fusion reactor as well as materials that are capable of functioning as first wall materials. Technologies needed for various blanket concepts are being ºnvestigated to perform their multiple functions of heat extraction, tritium production, and radiation shielding in a manner consistent with minimum environmental impact and maximum safety. Activities in tritium processing and control systems will address the requirements for reliably processing, containing, and cleaning of tritium generated in blankets. Fundamental environment and safety issues are studied to develop an understanding of potential environmental and safety concerns in a fusion system. Fusion Systems Analysis conducts studies to define parameters of major fusion experiments and performance of possible fusion power systems. These studies help the program determine technical feasibility and costs, determine needs and objectives for R&D, and assess safety, environmental, and economic performance of future reactor concepts. A large portion of this effort will be dedicated to carry out the Presidential initiative for design of an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). This will be a three year design study to determine the parameters and cost of an ITER. The goal of an ITER will be to complete the scientific database for a magnetic fusion reactor and to gain experience with technologies required to utilize fusion energy for electric power generation. A study of Advanced Tokamak Electric Power Systems will be conducted in parallel to the ITER work to better understand how ITER type devices could lead to commerical reactors with optimized safety, environmental, and economic characteristics. Some of the significant facilities utilized in the Development and Technology subprogram include the High Field Magnet Test Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for testing of superconducting magnets; the Plasma Materials Test Facility at Sandia National Laboratories; and the RF Test Facility at ORNL. The Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the fusion material, work in HFIR at ORNL and in the FFTF at Richland are also supported under collaborative agreements with Japan. f The following table summarizes the operating expense funding for the Development and Technology subprogram. | t f 383 .

The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program is an essential component of both the Department and the Federal commitment to R&D in the U.S. today. Working with the national laboratories, universities, industry, and other government agencies, the BES program supports research which provides the foundation for new technologies and improvements to existing technologies which are crucial to achieving the goals described in the National Energy Plan. Basic research is the first link in the chain of events from scientific discovery to technological innovation. Results from BES sponsored research become an integral part of the information base which underpins the nation's nuclear and non-nuclear technologies. In addition to supporting research for the country's technology foundation, BES supported research helps to train our future scientists, and helps us attain our national goals. Better health and quality of life, economic competitiveness, energy self-sufficiency, and national security are each supported from a strong program in basic research. The research in the BES program is grouped into six major subprogram areas: materials sciences, chemical sciences, applied mathematical sciences, engineering and geosciences, energy biosciences, and advanced energy projects. The principal focus of the BES program is directed toward supporting the Department's energy goals; however, a number of other important national goals are also supported. The U.S. leadership in science and technology, the stimulation of economic growth, national defense, and the training of tomorrow's scientists are additional goals to which BES contributes through the support of basic research. The BES program supports research in several ways. The BES program annually supports approximately 1400 individual research projects at over 200 separate institutions with direct support for over 4000 investigators in the physical, biological, and mathematical sciences. These projects are selected on the basis of scientific excellence, relevance to support of DOE long-term goals, and their contribution toward a responsive research program. Also, Basic Energy Sciences has a heavy involvement in major scientific user facilities (the High Flux Beam Reactor and the National Synchrotron Light Source at § Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories- Livermore, the High Flux Isotope Reactor and the Transuranium Processing Plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory at Stanford University, the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory and the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory). & These major facilities account for a significant amount of the increased BES budget requirement. In general, facility costs have risen by an amount greater than the cost of living. These higher costs can be attributed to higher than normal utility costs, safeguards, safety and higher user demands, as well as the need for the most modern equipment. The large, expensive, unique facilities in the BES program are made available to qualified users of the U.S. scientific community to the extent that funds permit. At the seven major user facilities funded by BES, there were about 1500 users from all scientific disciplines and programs which resulted in approximately 790 publications. The activity around these facilities is growing and the number of users is estimated at about '2000 for FY 1989. Many areas of modern science require large and costly facilities; without them, the necessary advanced research could not be done. BES also is providing advanced state-of-the-art computational support for several Energy Research programs other than Magnetic Fusion Energy [which is directly supported by the National Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center (NMFECC)], e.g., High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Biological and Environmental Research, as well as its own program. § The BES strategy continues to be: O O O Provide critical knowledge and data by supporting basic research relevant to DOE mission areas; Provide and support operation of unique, specialized research facilities; Exchange information with other DOE programs, Federal agencies, and the academic and industrial scientific communities; Take full advantage of the scientific and industrial communities’ identification of needs and opportunities for research in areas likely to be relevant to future energy options; Develop trained scientific talent through support of basic research at universities and national laboratories; and - Promote early applications of the results of basic research. 406 3 The Basic Energy Sciences program takes advantage of the research capabilities available at national laboratories, government laboratories, universities, and private research laboratories in the conduct of the program. The program support can be divided into three major components: research, facility operations, and construction. The facility operations component supports the operation of major user facilities for which access by qualified users is provided to the entire scientific community. Another component of the program, which is the largest component, is research support which takes place at national laboratories, universities and other institutions. By the very nature of the national laboratories and their traditional focus, they are especially valuable in doing research which is applicable to a number of energy concepts. The interactions possible are very great because laboratory scientists are frequently involved in many aspects of the applied energy programs. In addition, the stability of the organization and specialized capabilities which exist at the laboratories in many instances are unmatched. Many of the scientists involved in BES research programs are faculty or students at universities. Their research is enhanced through access to special facilities at national laboratories. More than one-third of BES funding supports university-based research. The list of universities receiving support covers almost every state and includes participation by both large and .." institutions. The third component is the construction of facilities needed by the Department and the Nation. In addition to universities and national laboratories, BES supports research in and maintains ties with industry. Representatives from different industries serve on the BES Advisory Committee; experts from industry participate in the review of research proposals and use the specialized facilities sponsored by BES; industrial scientists participate in program advisory committees at the national laboratories; and industry representatives are invited to attend BES conferences and workshops on special topics. The U.S. has been the world leader in science and technology and has derived many economic benefits from its leadership. The Department of Energy and its multiprogram laboratories play an important role in the Nation's scientific enterprise that is essential for our preeminence. A central feature of this role has been construction and operation of large, specialized scientific facilities that are used by scientists from universities and industry as well as the national laboratories. Many of the scientific facilities in our multiprogram laboratories are old or are becoming old. In order to make further progress in certain fields, new, more powerful facilities are required. In the past few years, the Department has given special attention to correcting deficiencies at its laboratories in environment, health, safety, security, safeguards, multiprogram energy purpose facilities and other such areas. However, less attention has been paid to improving the essential scientific 407 § facilities required to accomplish the main scientific mission of the laboratories, i.e., preeminence in certain key fields of research. Three facilities have been identified by the scientific community as being the most critical to the future needs of the Department's Basic Energy Sciences program. The three facilities, all of which will be located at the Department's multiprogram laboratories are: 1-2 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source - Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory; 6-7 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source - Argonne National Laboratory; and Advanced Neutron Source - Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The FY 1990 request for the Basic Energy Sciences program attempts to address not only the need for these powerful new facilities but also a continuing need for research essential to meeting the long-term goals of the Department and Nation. The request can be categorized into three areas: continuation of a strong basic program, operation of major user facilities at reasonable levels, and construction of advanced facilities. - 4. {} 8 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Basic Energy Sciences Program Change Request vs Base FY 1990 FY 1990 ------------------------- Activity FY 1988 FY 1989 Base Request Dollar Percent Operating Expenses Materials Sciences. . . . . . . . . . . $170,336 $180,476 $180,476 $202,252 + 21,776 + 12 Chemical Sciences............ 127,226 132,903 132,903 147,917 + 15,014 + 11 Applied Mathematical Sciences 41,919 42,663 42,663 44,877 + 2,214 + 5 Engineering and Geosciences.. 30,968 33, 174 33, 174 34,093 + 919 + 3 Advanced Energy Projects. . . . . 14, 127 14,538 14,538 14,936 + 398 + 3 Energy Biosciences. . . . . . . . . . . 19,997 20,632 20,632 21, 200 + 568 + 3 Program Direction. . . . . . . . . . . . 4,500 4,900 4,900 5,450 + 550 + | 1 Subtotal Operating Expenses. . . 409,073 429,286 429,286 470,725 + 41,439 + 10 Capital Equipment. . . . . . . . . . . . . 31,699 31,700 31,700 37,587 + 5,887 19 Construction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116,932 88,300 88,300 81,688 <- 6,612 * 8 Total. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 557,704 aſ 549,286 549,286 590,000 + 40,714 + 7 Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . .

The subprogram supports research at DOE laboratories, universities, and to a lesser extent in industry. The laboratory component is the largest and accounts for approximately 74% of the research funding, excluding facility operations. The major laboratory participants are the Ames Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Oak Hidge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and to a lesser extent Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, Pacific Northwest Laboratories, and Sandia Laboratories. The laboratory programs as a whole tend to contain larger groups of scientists, are multidisciplinary, and involve longer-term research projects. Many of the DOE laboratory programs have unique, major facilities which are open to outside users from universities, industry, and other government laboratories. The university component of the program includes top researchers from universities throughout the country. A typical project includes several graduate students in addition to the principal investigator. The projects cover all areas of materials sciences and tend to be narrower in scope and of shorter duration than projects at the laboratories. The funding associated with the university portion of the program is approximately 25%. Most of the industry supported portion of materials research takes place at smaller businesses through the Small Business Innovation Research Program. Other industry groups are funded by their home organization and work with members of the laboratory or university research groups. Due to the unique, expensive, and specialized nature of the user facilities, the largest participation of industry researchers occur at these facilities. So long as the research conducted by industry is available to the scientific community and is of interest to DOE, there is no charge imposed on the industry groups for the use of these facilities. Groups of multidisciplinary researchers work together guided by opportunities within the general goals set forth by the subprogram. Current goals include uncovering the information needed to: develop new or substitute materials; tailor materials properties to satisfy defined requirements; predict materials problems and service life; and improve the theoretical and experimental capability to analyze the fundamental structure of materials. Related to these goals is the support provided for major user facilities which are available to the entire scientific community for research. Coordination among the various materials research efforts within DOE and with other agencies is considered essential. Within DOE this takes place primarily through the Energy Materials Coordinating Committee (EMaCC) and with other agencies through the Committee on Materials (COMAT). Within the Materials Sciences subprogram, research is undertaken in the major areas of metallurgy and ceramics, solid state physics and materials chemistry. Some examples of š Preface: MATERIALS SCIENCES (Cont'd) research accomplishments during the past year include: understanding the role of grain boundary segregants in determining the ductility of intermetallic compounds; significantly improved computer modeling techniques for describing structure and behavior of metallic surfaces; new methods for predicting alloy phase diagrams from basic thermodynamic parameters; demonstration that whisker reinforcement in combination with transformation toughening leads to synergistic toughening behavior; demonstration that implantation of phosphorous in an amorphous iron alloy with 10% chromium gave the corrosion resistance of conventional iron alloys with 18% chromium; design, synthesis and characterization of the first organic ferromagnets; determination of the existence of an isotope effect in the high temperature superconductors; the first application of a free electron laser to condensed matter research; demonstration that the properties of monolayer metal films (e.g., niobium) have properties dependent on the substrate and which are markedly different from the bulk. Two unscheduled redirections of effort have major impacts on research programs in Materials Sciences over the FY 1989-FY 1990 period: 1) potential large increases in costs to meet nuclear reactor safety requirements as identified by the NAS; and 2) Congressionally-directed spending to expedite the Advanced Neutron Source (ANS) design at ORNL.

Preface: CHEMICAL SCIENCES The Chemical Sciences subprogram supports basic research across a broad front of chemistry and atomic physics necessary for the future development of energy technologies. Research includes photochemistry important to the conversion of light energy to fuels or electricity, chemical physics related to combustion processes, atomic physics important to fusion concepts, heavy element chemistry important to waste management, organic chemistry as well as heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis related to coal conversion and the more efficient production of fuels and bulk chemicals, separations and analytical science related to almost every facet of process chemistry and nuclear energy technology, and chemical thermodynamics for predicting physical properties of complex hydrocarbon mixtures. Related to those goals is the support provided to major user facilities which are available to the entire scientific community for research. The budget for the Chemical Sciences subprogram is affected in a significant way in FY 1989 and FY 1990 by the necessity to meet facility requirements above the needs of the base research program. The recent National Academy of Sciences study has recommended a number of safety improvements at the High Flux Isotope Reactor which are being assessed to determine the possible funding impact in both the FY 1989 and FY 1990 budgets. § II.

Research in photochemistry, as well as combustion and catalysis related research, are responsive to the Congressionally directed initiative based on the NAS/NRC report "Opportunities in Chemistry." Theoretical and experimental examinations of the role of solvents in photochemical charge separation phenomena of model compounds designed for efficient conversion will be carried out. The highest priority programs in chemical dynamics of combustion reaction systems and chemical catalysis would receive cost of living increases at the expense of other existing programs. Research programs at the CRF and NSLS would continue at current levels. Most other programs would remain at FY 1989 or slightly reduced dollar levels. Modest growth is planned on photocatalysis, photoselective reaction pathways, solvent effects on photo induced electron transfer, and surface chemistry at semiconductor electrodes. Research on recoil hot atom chemistry will be reduced. § III. CHEMICAL SCIENCES (Cont'd) Program Activity Chemical Sciences Research (Cont'd) FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Combustion related research continued. A new effort on reactivity of small metal clusters provided an atom based understanding of such properties of metals as catalysis, corrosion and electronic behavior. Emphasis was on studies of interactions between laser beams and accelerator produced ion beams to determine energy transfer cross sections between electrons and ions in excited states. The Kansas State University Ion Collision Physics Facility began operation. Emphasis was on research on reactive intermediates, catalytic clusters, oxide catalysts, acid sites and new biocatalytic systems to provide insights into side reactions, catalyst deactivation and new classes of catalysts for converting fossil and biomass resources into fuels. Emphasis will continue on the dynamics of small combustion related species central to improved models of combustion processes, and on metal cluster chemistry that may underpin an understanding of bulk properties. Dynamical effects of atomic systems in intense energy fields that occur under high flux conditions of photons, electrons or ions will be studied. The Kansas State University Ion Collision Physics Facility will become completely operational. Research on shape selective oxide catalysts for the energy efficient conversion of paraffinic hydrocarbons to bulk chemicals will be given priority.

The Engineering Research onjectives are (1) to improve and advance our knowledge of processes underlying current engineering practice, and (2) to expand the store of fundamental concepts for solving anticipated and unforeseen engineering problems in energy technologies. Fundamental research is supported in both traditional engineering disciplines and interdisciplinary areas concerned especially with analysis, control and improvement of systems for transport of heat and fluids and for materials processing. The Geosciences Research objective is to develop a quantitative, predictive understanding of the energy related aspects of geological processes. The primary focus is on the geophysics and geochemistry of rock/fluid systems, with increasing emphasis on high resolution underground imaging. Other topics emphasized include geochemical migration, basic geoscience studies of sedimentary formations where oil and gas are located, and Continental Scientific Drilling (to study underground heat and mass transport.)

Typical topics included thermodynamics of plastic deformations, chemical process plant control, flows of air-vapor-liquid mixtures, dynamics of non-linear systems, instrumentation for measuring properties of energy- related fluids and the like. Most of the research projects supported single investigators. However, there were several multi-investigator projects focusing on major thrust areas. Two such areas, involving collabora- tive efforts between a national laboratory (INEL) and several universities (MIT, Stanford University, and University of Minnesota), deal with 1) control of material processing - plasma diagnostics and welding process control, and (2) fracture mechanics. Another thrust, underway at ORNL, addressed the use of parallel comput- ing for controlling intelligent machines in the context of energy systems. It concentrated on auto- mating routine plant service and maintenance, as well as coping with emergency situation (accidents, natural disasters, etc.) FY 1989 FY 1990 The appropriation provides for maintaining the same overall level of effort as in FY 1988. Basic research in energy related engineering offers ways for major improvements in energy systems design. New diagnostic and modeling methods for two-phase flows, for example, are replacing empirical correlations with vastly better models based on fundamental understanding of the underlying phenomena. This will contribute to the resolution of prime concern with reactor safety codes, namely the behavior of steam and water at high temperature and high pressure. Similar studies are extended to porous media which play a role in the recovery of oil and natural gas deposits, as well as in other energy systems. Research in solid mechanics should lead to major progress in the ability to predict life-to-crack- initiation of structural components. Research efforts will continue to address the fundamental areas of process design and control, non-destructive evaluation, instrumentation for hostile environments, and intelligent machines. With respect to the last, it is expected that experiments at 427 Support for basic engineering research will be maintained at a level of effort slightly below that of FY 1989. Emphasis will remain on the most critical aspects of two-phase flows and flows in porous media; in the latter case the collaboration between MIT, Sandia National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory will continue experiments aiming at the validation of advanced methods for analyzing such flows. At the same time it is expected that ongoing theoretical and experimental collaborative work at the three universities will cast light on the evolution of persistent organized large scale structures in turbulent flows. Some support for attacking basic engineering problems in high temperature superconducting devices will be provided. Research will continue in the areas of combustion, welding automation and plasma processing, as will studies in solid mechanics, and the dynamics of non-linear systems and smart controls for energy systems.

Activity Descriptions Program Activity ENGINEERING AND GEOSCIENCES Engineering Research (Cont'd) Subtotal Engineering Research FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Important recent accomplishments included 1) an elucidation of the mechanisms of rapid cooling by swirls injected into pipe-flow, opening the door to effective removal of high heat fluxes, such as those expected in future magnetic fusion devices; 2) utilization of instrumentation first developed for measuring thermophysical properties of mixtures of hydrocarbons to measure and standardize the properties of environmentally benign refrigerants, thus contributing to the reduction of the threat of atmospheric ozone layer depletion without compromising the energy efficiency and cost of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment; 3) new understanding of the behavior of noise and other random processes in non-linear systems, leading to possible improvements in realistic computer simulations of nuclear reactor operation. $14,669 ORNL will demonstrate modes of operation in which two independent machines acting jointly under limited human supervision carry out a set of requested tasks. Studies carried out in the University-INEL collaborative project include developing efficient control strategies for automated welding processes, and the development of optical techniques for plasma diagnostics and process control. Further studies continue to address the fundamental engineering aspects of combustion and methods for acquisition of thermophsyical data for energy related processes. Systems using the new superconductors will be studied by, for example, use of non-destructive evaluation techniques to see changes associated with transformations to the superconducting state. $15,330 such as new efficient energy conversion cycles made possible by resonances between coupled oscillatory chemical reactions and mechanical process.

Rock mechanics and fluid flow studies related to reservoir modeling have contributed to a better understanding of the environment in fractured reservoirs. Measurements of the electrical properties of a black shale demonstrate that some hydrocarbon source rocks are the cause of the electrical conductivity anoma lies determined by electromagnetic surveys; these results may be used in developing oil and gas exploration strategies. Laboratory studies indicate that non-linear elastic wave mixing may lead to entirely new techniques for examining underground structures. Continental scientific drilling has shown that molybdenite ore was precipitated shallowly in the Walles Caldera in New Mexico, an indication that the near surface zone was hotter in the past in this hydrothermal system. A new scientific corehole was started in the Walles with the largest core drilling rig in the United States. Isotope and rare earth elements signatures have been identified for various modes of flow and states of porosity in limestone A major effort has been initiated to improve remote high-resolution, three-dimensional mapping capabilities using elastic waves (i.e., acoustic and shear waves) for underground imaging. Techniques for high data-rate processing and large array synthesis will be developed and applied to advance the state-of-the-art. This research seeks to provide the increased resolution necessary to define geologic, discontinuities with an accuracy suitable for application to the requirements of waste isolation and hydrocarbon reservoir studies. In addition, other lines of research are in progress related to sedimentary basins which contain oil and gas resources. Rates of conversion of kerogen to petroleum, rock mechanics, fluid-rock interactions, geochemical transport, and isotopic tracer studies are major components of this effort. Thermodynamic properties of melts, brines, and other fluids will comprise an important part of geochemical research this year. Results of these studies will be applied to a better understanding of thermal regimes and the evolution of sedimentary basins. In the area of continental scientific drilling, a drill hole in the Walles Caldera, New Mexico, was completed early in FY 1989 to 1.7 km, about 200m into A 29 Through redirection, increased funding will be provided for high resolution underground imaging of geologic media using elastic waves. New techniques for high data-rate processing, large array synthesis and the interpretation of seismic data in terms of geologic media parameters such as permeability will be part of this effort. Because of its application to DOE interests in radioactive and hazardous waste disposal, hydrocarbon reservoir studies, and geologic media in general, the underground imaging is expected to become a central effort in the Geosciences Research activity. Funding for this effort will be significantly increased in FY 1990 if the flow of excellent proposals is as strong as expected. The redirection is expected to require termination of a number of individual research projects underway in FY 1989 in areas other than high resolution underground imaging. To maintain appropriate balance in the remainder ot the program, many of the lines of research of previous years will be continued but at substantially reduced levels. Research related to sedimentary formations in which oil and gas resources are located will continue to be emphasized. Similar 3. II .

Research on transport in aqueous systems in underground fluids has demonstrated the importance of acetate in the fluids involved in sedimentary processes leading to the concentration of ores by organometallic complexes. Experimental studies have shown that defects in crystals produced by shock processes do not appreciably enhance the rate at which a mineral goes into solution. In studies of solar-terrestrial interactions, an absorption band of ozone was identified useful for ground based measurements of ozone column abundance. the conductive zone of an active hydrothermal system. Geophysical surveys of the proposed drill site at Katmai in Alaska will be carried out. Solar-terrestrial physics research is concentrating on the relationship between the near-space environment of the earth and the upper and middle atmosphere. research in other crustal rocks will aid in better understanding not only of thermal regimes and geothermal energy resources, but also of the heat sources responsible for the maturation of hydrocarbon-bearing sediments. Research topics which will continue to contribute essential basic knowledge a long these lines include rock mechanics, fluid-rock interaction, sedimentary basin maturation, geochemical transport, isotopic tracer studies, and fluid flow. The research in geophysics will continue to include studies of solar-terrestrial-atmospheric inter- actions. Continental scientific drill- ing research will be maintained, part- icularly at Katma i.

Preface: ADVANCED ENERGY PROJECTS The objective of the Advanced Energy Projects (AEP) subprogram is to explore the feasibility of novel, energy-related concepts, as they evolve from basic research. Such concepts are at an early stage of scientific definition and, therefore, would not qualify for support by technology programs. Because they are new and untried, those concepts invariably represent a high risk; to qualify for support they must also have the potential for an eventual high payoff of a magnitude sufficient to open new vistas in the Nation's technology posture. X-ray microscopy and holography, with a potential for imaging live biological specimens at subcellular levels, can serve as just one of many examples. An area of major programmatic attention is the transfer of successful projects to proper technology programs; such transfers are effected every year, and several already have led to major development programs both in the Government and in private industry. The principal mode of operation for this interdisciplinary subprogram is to support individual projects for a limited time only; it differs from other subprograms in that it does not fund ongoing evolutionary research. The spectrum of projects supported is very broad, encompassing, for example, new sources of electromagnetic radiation, new methods of better fossil fuels utilization, totally new approaches to controlled fusion (including muon-catalyzed fusion) and unconventional approaches to the high temperature superconductors applications. Close contact is maintained with other DOE technology programs to ensure proper coordination. Projects are selected on the basis of unsolicited proposals received from researchers at universities, ‘industrial laboratories (especially small R&D companies) and national laboratories. A separate activity within AEP is the Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator Research (HIFAR) program. HIFAR conducts research and development on the heavy-ion, induction linear accelerator method to assess its suitability as a "driver" for electric power plants based on the principle of inertial confinement fusion. In this approach to fusion, output from the driver is used to compress small pellets of fuel to the extent that energy-producing thermonuclear reactions occur. (The other driver contenders, lasers and light-ion accelerators, are being developed elsewhere within DOE.) A.

Activity Descriptions Program Activity ADVANCED ENERGY PROJECTS Advanced Energy Projects FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Continued emphasis was on the development of very bright laser-type x-ray sources and the evaluation of their applications, with the potential for a significant amount of technology transfer. Efforts on muon-catalyzed fusion were continued. Further studies of key physics parameters were performed, building upon recent experimental results. Planned activities in Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator Research were to conduct comprehensive MBE-4 test series; to operate experiments at design specifications, document results and critically review; to complete accelerator parameter studies, review estimates and compare with experimental test results. Design codes were used to identify and assess the accelerator concepts and techniques needed to adequately test the major beam physics and accelerator technology issues. Injector development continued. These experiments and accelerator design studies established a basis for proceeding with a detailed design of an accelerator experiment to minimally meet the HIFAR program objective. As is the case every year, new highly nonconventional energy-related concepts, as they emerge, will be explored for their technical feasibility. Continued emphasis will be on concepts for very bright laser-type x-ray sources and their applications, especially in the area of x-ray laser holography and microscopy, for imaging of living matter at subcellular levels; the work will be coordinated with the Biological and Environmental Research program. Muon-catalyzed fusion will be further explored for its potential as an alternative to other fusion schemes. The Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator Research program will be continued to complete and document existing major research activities within the program; emphasis will be placed on maximizing the scientific return on the sizable investment in the existing Hl FAR experimental apparatus. £32 Funds will be used to support exploratory research on innovative energy-related concepts which evolve from basic research but are in need of proving their pratical feasibility. As has been the case for over a decade, all projects are supported for a limited period of time, in most cases not exceeding/ three years. Subjects studied by researchers at universities, national laboratories, and industrial laboratories span the full spectrum of Departmental non-defense interests and presently include areas such as unconventional approaches to superconductor development, entirely new approaches to chemical separations, new sources of coherent electromagnetic radiation, including x-ray lasers, applications of such sources to microscopic imaging of live matter at subcellular levels, and muon-catalyzed fusion or "cold-fusion" -- an approach to fusion energy generation that does not require high temperatures.

Preface: ENERGY BIOSCIENCES The Energy Biosciences (EB) subprogram is structured to provide the basic microbiological and plant sciences information necessary for DOE’s efforts in generating the background for enhancing the renewable resource base, for microbiological transformation of renewable organic materials such as lignocellulosics in the production of fuels and chemicals, and for other energy relevant biological systems applications. Research is undertaken to uncover basic understanding of biological principles, mechanisms and organisms in order to implement genetic manipulation or other biotechnology operations relevant to long range DOE objectives. Some investigations are designed with the objective of wedding contemporary plant and microbial biological research with state-of-the-art powerful chemical-physical techniques and thinking to achieve better understanding of mechanisms. The program fills a significant need in the federal research network by the support of biological areas not served adequately or, in some cases, not at a ll, by other programs. Č33 3. III. A.

The full implementation was completed on a plant and microbial complex carbohydrate center dedicated to research, training and service to the research community. The effort addressed those high priority needs identified in carbohydrate research. The level allows continuation of the base program in plant and microbial sciences with internal adjustments of the program based on the turnover of projects. Some additional activity in plant biochemistry related to the mechanisms and regulation of the synthesis of lignin and plant and microbial polysaccharides may be expected with funds redirected from other research areas. Research activities on the biological modification of materials sponsored jointly with the Division of Materials Science will be modestly increased. The multidisciplinary plant science center research activities in it jated in FY 1987 on complex carbohydrates and in FY 1988 on the early events involved in photosynthesis will continue to be 434 This is a sustaining level for the Energy Biosciences subprogram in the plant and microbial sciences that allows for maintenance of strong projects and, by benefit of turnover initiation of some new projects. It is anticipated that a few new projects will be in the areas of carbohydrate and lignin structure, function, synthesis and biodegradation. Cngoing research in these areas will continue with modest enhancement.

Preface: CAPITAL EQUIPMENT Capital equipment is needed to support the research in each of the subprograms in the Basic Energy Sciences program. In addition, Argonne and Ames are funded for general purpose equipment through BES for the purpose of providing all the DOE programs at ANL with this type of equipment. Much of the research in the BES program involves experiments at extremes of temperature and pressure and requires unprecedented levels of resolution. Reliable, precise measurements under such conditions challenge the current state-of-the-art, and as improvements are made in instruments and equipment, it is important to benefit from them in a timely fashion. The quality of individual research projects and effective experiments at the major facilities depends on the availability of new state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation, and on replacement of older, obsolete equipment. £37 3.

The pipelines will be equipped with an active leak detection and monitoring system and will be tied in with an overall operational central control system. The project will also include a new (4000 sq. ft.) central facility for receiving and discharging to the pipeline system liquid low-level waste which will be transported by truck in tanks and small bottles (in lieu of piping). Appropriately equipped new trucks will be provided to transport waste. : 27 § (b) (c) The purpose of this project is to upgrade a significant portion of liquid low-level waste collection and transfer system to protect personnel and public safety and health and the environment and to meet all applicable regulations. The majority of the existing system was constructed in the 1940's using materials and approaches considered applicable at the time. The original pipes are rapidly deteriorating and leaks are expected to occur at an increasing rate. $10,500,000, is requested for FY 1990 funding. This will be the third year of funding. Procurement and construction will be well underway. 5 2 8 § WOLUME 2 SUPPORTING SERVICES 530 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FISCAL YEAR 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTING SERVICES WOLUME 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS In-House Energy Management . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tº e º ºs e º C & E G = e º e º e º e º e º e 533 Technical Information Management Program ....... º e º 'º e - e. e. e. e. g. tº º & tº e º 'º dº e º ſº 541 Strategic Facility Utilization . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . e e a s e e e s e º e 551 Policy and Management - Energy Research . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 561 Policy and Management - Nuclear Energy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 566 Policy and Management - Conservation and Renewable Energy . . . . . . . . . . . . 569 531 § º | DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW IN-HOUSE ENERGY MANAGEMENT The goal of the In-house Energy Management Program is to reduce energy consumption and utility/energy costs for the Department's facilities. As such, the program supports all mission areas. The program is structured to survey and study facilities and processes owned by the Department in order to identify retrofits and modifications to Departmental facilities which save energy and have a high return on investment. Projects identified are competed on a DOE-wide basis and are selected to maximize the Department's economic return. Recent significant accomplishments include: o $1,900,000 was invested in FY 1988 for surveys and studies to identify retrofit projects for future funding and to identify no or low cost operational changes to reduce current energy consumption. o Sixty-seven projects were funded in FY 1988 which, when complete will have a payback of 2.4 years. o FY 1987 energy consumption per square foot in DOE buildings has been reduced by 4.6 percent as compared to FY 1985. o FY 1987 energy consumption per square foot in DOE metered processes has been reduced by 13.6 percent as compared to FY 1985. Specific objectives for FY 1990 to FY 1994 are: o To reduce energy consumption per square foot in DOE buildings by 1 percent each year. o To reduce energy consumption per square foot in DOE metered processes by l percent each year. o To identify and fund dations retrofit projects with a high rate of return on investment as required by the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, Public Law 95-619, in order to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the operating costs of the Department of Energy. Continuation of an annual program of quick payback retrofit projects for the Department's facilities reduces outyear utility costs, provides a rate of return exceeding 35 percent on the dollars invested and will meet goals set by legislation. # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE In-house Energy Management Program Change FY 1990 FY 1990 Request Vs Base Activity FY 1988 FY 1989 Base Request DoTTar Percent Operating Expenses Surveys and Studies. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,900 $ 2,000 $ 2,000 $ 2,020 $ +20 +1% Construction - Modifications for Energy Management, Various Locations. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13,046 17,520 17,520 15,810 - 1,710 - 10% Advanced Test Reactor Waste Heat Recovery - Idaho National Engineering Laboratory... 3,934 0 0 0 O 0% Convert Boiler No. 4 to Coal Firing • Argonne National Laboratory. . . . . . . . . . . • 0 O 0 2,270 +2,270 +100% Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . e o s • * * * * * * * * * * * $18,880 $19,520 $19,520 $20,100 $ +580 +3% Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET • : , ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AN DEVELOPMENT OWERVIEW TECHNICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The Department of Energy (DOE) must ensure that the scientific and technical information (STI) resulting from the Agency's multibillion dollar research and development (R&D) investment is effectively managed, controlled, and disseminated, and that management of STI is considered an integral part of the R&D process from the initial planning stage through project completion. It must also ensure that Departmental elements managing and carrying out the Agency's R&D programs have access to the STI needed to perform their work, regardless of the source, and that STI is shared with other Government agencies and the private sector as appropriate. The Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) represents a Department-wide approach to managing STI and is carried out at many levels within the Department and by its contractors. Within the DOE infrastructure, the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), through implementation of the Technical Information Management Program (TIMP), provides direction and leadership for the Department's STIP and furnishes a centralized base of support to assist Departmental elements in producing, managing, and disseminating their STI, when such support is determined to be in the best economic and programmatic interests of the Department. To fulfill these responsibilities, the TIMP operates in support of four major objectives: o To coordinate the establishment, communication, and implementation of policy, procedures, and standards for managing STI in the Department; - o To manage and provide access to energy and nuclear defense STI; o To provide advice and assistance to D06. Program offices in planning, developing, and implementing STIP activities; and - o To represent the Department and participate in interagency, international, and domestic STI activities # Some of OSTI's major accomplishments during FY 1988 include: O O O O In O Operated and expanded access to an interactive real time superconductivity information system to help insure U.S. competitiveness in the development and application of superconductivity basic research. Operated in coordination with DOE's Defense Program, a multi agency Arms Control Data Base which includes comprehensive information on arms research utilized for authorizing research and disarmament negotiations. - Operated and expanded access to DOE's first on-line classified network (CLEO) which provides the communication link between 0STI's classified data resources and the Agency's defense laboratories. Managed the operation of an information program (Energy Technology Data Exchange) for the International Energy Agency which makes valuable foreign technology available to the U.S. addition to these activities, a major activity in FY 1990 is: Implementation of plans to upgrade management control and environmental protection of official DOE R&D records (600,000 records of research results reported in technical reports, 1948 to present). 542 # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Technical Information Management Program Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs Base Activity Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollar Percent Technical Information Management Program Operating Expenses $13,100 $13,100 $13,100 $13,850 $+750 +6% Capital Equipment 900 900 900 950 +50 +6% Construction • 0 2,500 0 200 +200 Budget Authority $14,000 #Tājj $17,000 $15,000 TUUU Tyſ Staffing (FTEs) 169 175 175 175 AUEROFTzation TSection 3TTFII33.703 5 4 3 $ DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ENERGY SUPPLY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (dollars in thousands) SUMMARY OF CHANGES Technical Information Management Program FY 1989 Appropriation e e e º e º e C & O & © tº G & © & © 2 & e o O ſº gº tº e º e º O Gº G & º e o e º º e º O C & © e º 'º e º O © tº º e º e º e º e o O C & e e e $16,500 Adjustments - FY 1989 Line Item Construction Project . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -2,500 FY 1990 Base e e º e o e º e e º 'º e º e º G & © e º & © & © 2 tº e º O & G & C G tº e º e º 'º e º e º e º 'º e º e º O e o O e º O C e º e º O e º e e o O e º e º e º e C $14,000 Contractual Services and Supplies - Escalation increases . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +520 - Increase required to prevent further deterioration of official R&D records . . . . . . . . . . . . . +280 Construction - General Plant Projects (GPP) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +200 FY 1990 Congressional Budget Request $15,000 544 š 11.

It was originally constructed for warehouse purposes, and In the early 1950s It was renovated to include office and production areas and now houses over 300 DOE and DOE contractor employees. No major upgrades had been made to the facility since the 1950s. Congress has appropriated FY 1989 funds for a $2.5 m I I I Ion I line Item construct lon project to upgrade the fac| | |ty in the following areas: Overloaded and out-dated electrical service, including quest Ionable capacity of emergency electrical power and I ighting system. inadequate sprinkler ºrotect lon.

SFUP will accomplish this by achieving more effective use of DOE’s physical plant. Background. DOE has a matrix organizational structure that encourages initiative in its operations. Field organizations have the freedom to propose new projects to headquarters program offices for funding. Programs then allocate funds to the field according to priorities set by the Administration and the Congress. One area that is often short-changed in this process is facility maintenance funding. Dollars spent for maintenance may benefit all of 00E, but they come from a single program's funds. Within that program's budget, facility maintenance must compete for funds with other, more program-oriented projects. Another neglected area is the disposal of facilities that are no longer strategic (needed). Unused and under-used facilities waste maintenance dollars. However, it is cheaper in the short run for a program to continue under-using a facility than to convert or dispose of it. To address these problems, the Strategic Facilities Initiative was created. First funded in FY 1988 as the Strategic Facilities Utilization Program, this initiative is designed to: 1) Dispose of marginal facilities; 2) Reallocate maintenance dollars thus saved to strategic facilities; 3) Improve field/program planning and coordination to ensure that the identification of marginal facilities is accurate; and O 4) Serve as a catalyst to improve contractor facilities management efforts. 551 # A major reason for placing this program under the Assistant Secretary for Management and Administration is the need for a DOE-wide perspective. No single outlay program office can easily place DOE's needs ahead of its own in the competition for funding. As a separate program, SFUP's funding requests can be addressed by DOE management on the basis of what will benefit DOE as a whole. To provide proper balance between DOE's matrix structure and the benefits of a centralized facilities utilization program, it is intended that SFUP funding and staff be kept at relatively low levels. Recent accomplishments include: O Funding of 18 projects for FY 1988. The $2.2 million appropriated will be returned to DOE through cost avoidances in about four years. Funds no longer needed to maintain marginal facilities are being applied to strategic ones. Identification of a DOE-wide backlog of over 500 marginal facilities totaling over 2.5 million square feet. The planned actions on these facilities will cost about $85 million and produce cost avoidances yielding an average payback of four to five years. Specific objectives for FY 1990 to FY 1994 are: O Encourage good facility utilization both by example and by the availability of non-programmatic funding. Enforce DOE policy that requires good facility management as the normal way of doing business. § Activity Operating Expenses, demolition, mothballing, disposals, etc. . . . . . . . . . .

Maintenance funding for these facilities is falling below a prudent level. Part of the problem is the continued existence of many facilities that are only marginally useful. The Strategic Facilities Utilization Program (SFUP) requires field organizations to identify those facilities that are essential (strategic) in terms of projected missions and those facilities that are marginal. It is expected that program offices will choose to do many of the marginal facilities projects once they are identified by the field. Separate funding for the SFUP will enable it to accomplish projects that fall between areas of program responsibility, such as general use guard stations, pump houses, etc. In addition, SFUP will provide facilities utilization leadership by doing some projects that program offices are unwilling or unable to fund. It should be noted that the SFUP has been conceived as a "level of effort program." The current project list will be out-of-date by the beginning of FY 1990. Some of the projects will have lower priorities and others will have taken their place. For this reason, the following data only represent the projects to be chosen when funds become available. The final FY 1990 SFUP project list will be made up of the best projects available. It will continue to spread funds across major DOE programs and field operations. So far, over $85 million of work has been identified. When all these marginal facilities are converted or disposed of, maintenance cost avoidances will be about $15 million per year. These paybacks will continue to be valid for as long as the demolished facilities might otherwise have been standing. 555 É II. A.

In meeting the objectives of the Nuclear Waste Fund program, emphasis has been placed on the implementation and utilization of a comprehensive quality assurance program. The quality assurance program provides the assurances to the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management that the technical activities are conducted in a manner to appropriately address those issues relative to public health and safety and the protection of the environment, and meet the licensing requirements established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. First Repository. Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has been designated by the NWPAA as the site for detailed site characterization activities. In order to characterize the Yucca Mountain site, a number of critical activities must be accomplished. These activities include issuance of a Site Characterization Plan and conduct of public hearings; conduct of geologic, hydrologic, geochemical, socioeconomic, and environmental evaluations; design and construction of an exploratory shaft facility; conduct of an in situ test program in the exploratory shaft facility; and environmental and socioeconomic monitoring during site characterization and mitigation of significant adverse impacts. In the areas of outreach and participation with the affected State and other affected parties recognized by the NWPA, as amended, activities include negotiation of a consultation and cooperation agreement, implementation of a program of grants and payments equal to taxes and, if desired by the State, negotiation of a benefits agreement. If a benefits agreement is negotiated, a budget amendment or supplemental budget request will be submitted. Other critical activities include the design and development of a waste package; development of a repository design; intense interactions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and scoping and preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement and license application preparation. Cooperative international efforts of benefit to the site characterization program at Yucca Mountain will be conducted where they are cost effective. 57.7 # Second Repository. In accordance with the redirection of the program, siting work for the second repository has been terminated. º Monitored Retrievable Storage. The NWPAA authorizes a Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility as an integral part of the overall waste management system and place certain conditions on its siting, construction and operation. Prior analyses of the optimal role which an MRS may play and certain MRS design features, including process flows, will be updated consistent with the NWPAA. In addition, grants to States, Indian Tribes, or units of local government to assess the feasibility of potential sites in their jurisdictions are authorized. The NWPAA authorizes benefits payments to a volunteer host State or Indian Tribe. If a benefits agreement for an MRS is negotiated, a budget amendment or supplemental budget request will be submitted. Following submission of the MRS Review Commission Report in November 1989, a survey and evaluation of potential MRS sites is authorized and preparation for definitive design and licensing will begin. ( Transportation and Systems Integration. Development and operation of a safe, efficient transportation system is critical to the overall development of an integrated waste management system. Tasks required to meet this responsibility will provide for the full institutional development of an integrated transportation system and the technical development and operation of the system. In developing and operating this system, private industry will be utilized to the maximum extent possible, as mandated by the NWPA. Systems integration efforts benefit the total waste management program by facilitating the successful integration of the discrete program elements (i.e., mined geologic repositories, transportation, and an MRS facility) into a cohesive, efficient, safe, and timely waste management system. Specific critical activities that must continue in order to develop the waste transportation system include transportation systems acquisition, the development and testing of transportation casks, institutional activities, environmental and economic analysis, and the development of various prototypical consolidation, packaging, and handling hardware. # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST NUCLEAR WASTE FUND (Dollars in Thousands) LEAD TABLE Program Change Request vs base FY 1990 FY 1990 ---------------- FY 1991 FY 1992 Nuclear Waste Fund FY 1988 FY 1989 Base Request Dollar Percent Estimate Estimate First Repository Operating expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $240,900 $212, 161 $212, 161 $326,096 $+l 13,935 + 54 $493,067 $448, 190 Capital purchase. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $15, 100 $11,539 $11,539 $12,494 $+ 955 + 8 $4,718 $1,872 Subtotal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $256,000 $223,700 $223,700 $338,590 $4114,890 + 51 $497,785 $450,062 Second Repository Operating expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3,500 $0 $0 $0 * * * sº º ºs $0 $U Monitored Retrievable Storage Operating expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4,000 $15,000 $15,000 $10,000 $- 5,000 - 33 $48,750 $67,200 Trans. & Sys.

Preface: First Repository With passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act in December 1987, the tuff site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, was selected for detailed characterization to evaluate site suitability. Characterization of the Yucca Mountain site will involve the collection and analysis of geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical data; environmental and socioeconomic evaluation; the construction of an exploratory shaft facility and the conduct of an in situ test program within the facility; the design and development of a waste package; the design and development of a repository; intensive institutional interactions with the State of Nevada and affected local governments; payments equal to taxes to the State of Nevada and appropriate local jurisdictions; financial assistance for possible characterization mitigation and for oversight by the State of Nevada; implementation of the Benefits Agreements Program; interactions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and project management activities including a rigorous quality assurance program to ensure that all aspects of the work are conducted effectively and efficiently. If the tuff site is found suitable and site designation becomes éffective, this site characterization program will culminate with the submission of a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct a high-level nuclear waste repository. In addition to the site-specific work to be implemented, technical support activities will be continued, including evaluation of waste package designs and compliance strategies; geoscientific analysis; risk assessments; Materials Characterization Center tasks; development and analysis of performance assessment models; and defense waste studies. In addition, cooperative international efforts of benefit to the site characterization program at Yucca Mountain will be conducted where they are cost effective. II. A.

The primary objective of this project is to obtain and analyze in situ geotechnical data to be used in determining the suitability of the Yucca Mountain site for the construction of a high-level radioactive waste repository. The facility will consist of two 12-foot inside diameter vertical shafts with concrete lining, approximately 1,415 feet and 1,052 feet deep respectively. When completed, the two shafts will be capable of transporting personnel and materials to the repository horizons. The underground lateral drifts will include service and main test areas (approximately 4,000 linear feet), and exploratory drifts (approximately 5,600 linear feet) will provide sufficient capacity to implement a wide range of in situ geologic, geochemical, geomechanical, hydrologic and thermal tests in the geologic horizon. The associated surface facilities will consist of two hoist houses, warehouse, shop, set of connecting trailers, an administration and engineering building for general office space for ESF personnel and a technical services building for laboratory analyses. FY 1990 activities include commission of the shaft collars, hoists, and headframes. Begin full scale construction of ES-1 and ES-2 with the sinking, lining and outfitting of the two shafts. Commence construction phase testing with the start of the shaft drilling. Installation of data acquisition hardware will also begin.

Included in the peaceful purpose is the production and sale of isotopes not produced and reasonably available from domestic private sources. Accordingly, the number and kinds of isotopes being produced by D0E varies as private industry starts or stops production of specific isotopes. In some instances, this results in DOE producing for sale isotopes of more limited or undeveloped use with marginal profits. In FY 1990, DOE is proposing to establish a revolving fund that would include the production, sale and distribution of all isotopes excluding those used for DOE Defense Programs and Energy Research activities. The fund would permit the program to operate in a more business like manner, retaining revenues to fund ongoing operations and making necessary minor capital improvements to aging facilities. The fund would also provide flexibility to meet unforeseen changes in production requirements resulting from changes in customer demands. As an example, temporary increase in costs associated with increased demand for isotopes can be accommodated without the need for additional appropriations by using cash reserves generated by previous sales to fund the increased demand. Conversely, if demand for isotopes falls below planned levels and revenues fail to offset costs, cash reserves could provide a contingency to insure that operating capital is available to support continuing operation of the facilities. The DOE Isotope Production and Distribution Program will provide radioactive and stable isotope products and associated services to a wide and varied domestic and international market. Ultimate applications of the isotope products include medical research and health care, education, industrial research and manufacturing, and national defense. Prices for the products are established to recover program costs, while the revenues realized from sale of isotopes and services would be retained by the program as an offset to costs and investment in minor maintenance and refurbishing production facilities. The Isotope Production and Distribution Program consists of three major categories of isotope products which are Radioisotopes, Electromagnetically Enriched (EM) Stable Isotopes, and Non-EM Enriched Stable Isotopes. 649 § Radioisotopes include radioactive materials specifically produced in DOE reactors and accelerators and byproducts materials. The radioisotopes offered vary widely in half-life, physical and chemical form, and production batch size. EM stable isotopes are separated in the Electromagnetic Isotope Enrichment Facility (Calutrons) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The quantities produced, enrichments, and prices vary widely. Both radioisotopes and EM stable isotopes are sold by the ORNL sales office. Non-EM enriched stable isotopes are routinely produced at Mound Plant, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and have also been produced at the Savannah River Plant and the gas centrifuges at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. These products are sold through the Mound sales office. DOE, in keeping with government policies and practices, sets prices for products offered under this program in a manner that will not discourage the use of the products nor the development of domestic sources of supply independent of DOE. The products sold by DOE are only those not reasonably available from private sources in the U.S. The enriched stable isotopes and a few of the radioisotopes are amenable to production, storage, and distribution on an inventory basis, but many radioactive isotopes must be produced frequently or on demand because of their rapid decay. There are no prepackaged quantities, so each order must be packaged individually. Isotope related services that are provided may be associated with the products sold or may involve the preparation of specialized physical forms. Such items include, but are not limited to reactor dosimeters, thin foils, "doped" materials, and coatings. These items are user specific, made to individual specifications, and primarily used for research. Product related services include source enscapsulation, special purification, preparation of nonstandard chemical or physical forms, special packaging for radioactive material and special separations, special analysis and testing, services related to shipping, and processing of returned isotopes. c 5 () 5 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR NUCLEAR ENERGY (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE ISOTOPE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM FUND Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 # VS Base Activity Actual Estimate Base Request O I lar ercent Isotope Production Operating Expenses $17,326A/ $16,243A/ $16,243 $ 16,2438/ $ 0 0 Receipts from Isotope Sales 17,462 16,452 16,452 16,452C/ 0 - O A/ FY 1988 and FY 1989 show comparability amounts for the Isotope Production and Distribution Program which was previously funded through Departmental Administration and Energy Research in those years.

Ultimate applications of the isotope products include health care, research in virtually every scientific discipline, education, industrial use, and national defense. DOE’s isotopes are produced at several different sites and distributed through sales offices located at DOE's Mound Plant, Ohio, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee. A revolving fund is proposed to be established in FY 1990 for use in funding isotope production, sale and distribution activities, and related efforts including, federal personnel compensation, benefits, travel, and other expenses. Program oversight has been assigned to the Office of Nuclear Energy. Prior to FY 1990, funding for this activity was provided from a number of DOE accounts, principally the Office of Management and Administration and the Office of Energy Research. A.

The primary goal of the program is new knowledge and understanding. To carry out this forefront research, the program requires and develops advanced technologies for application to accelerators and detectors; these new technologies often find near term as well as long term applications in other fields. Experimental research in high energy physics most often requires the use of large particle accelerators, colliding beam devices, and large particle detectors. There are three DOE supported accelerator centers, Fermilab, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), each of which provides world unique capabilities and is operated as a national facility available to qualified experimenters on the basis of the scientific merit of their proposals. To these is being added the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) which is being proposed for construction in a separate FY 1990 budget. Experiments are also carried out at foreign accelerators with unique capabilities not available in the U.S. Some important experiments do not require beams from accelerators but use detectors elsewhere, sometimes in deep underground or mountain top laboratories. The experimental research, as well as theoretical research, is carried out largely by university based scientists. The ability to carry out forefront exploratory research on the physics frontier is critically dependent on the experimental capabilities of the accelerators, colliding beam and detector facilities, effective utilization of those facilities and the provision of upgraded and new facilities on a timely basis. The dependence of the program on facilities strongly influences program planning and strategy. Two recent major upgrades of U.S. high energy physics facilities, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) and the Fermil ab Tevatron Collider, are now in operation for research. These facilities will keep the U.S. program highly competitive and at the cutting edge for the next several years. Effective utilization of these facilities in the next few years is critical to the U.S. program. 17 # The participation of university based scientists is critical to the strength and vitality of the U.S. program. It is essential to maintain the capability of university scientists to participate effectively in world forefront experiments. With the planned strong utilization of the existing facilities, particularly the Tevatron and SLC, corresponding increases for university based scientists will be needed to allow effective participation by these scientists. Further, funds are being requested for the restoration of the technical capabilities of the major university laboratories which have significantly eroded in recent years. After careful study it has been determined that a new, more powerful particle accelerator capable of exploring the Tev mass region is essential to advance understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy and to enable the U.S. High Energy Physics program to remain at the research frontier in the mid 1990's and beyond. The SSC will be a proton-proton collider having an energy of 20 Tev per beam. The SSC will permit exploration of this new domain of physics research which cannot be reached by any existing facility. (Starting this year, the SSC will be described in a separate budget document.) The strategy for the overall High Energy Physics program for FY 1990 revolves around the following key factors: o Highest priority is given to strong facilities operation and research programs at the new world forefront research capabilities of the SLC electron-positron collider and the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. High priority is also given to operating the Tevatron fixed target program at a high level. Operation at SLAC of the upgraded Positron Electron Project (PEP) electron-positron collider with the improved Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detector and operation at BNL of the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) program focusing on rare kaon decay, neutrino and unique polarized proton experiments are also important. o Significant funding for the SSC project was provided in FY 1989 for R&D and preliminary design activities. First construction funding is being requested in FY 1990. o Continued effective participation of university scientists is critical to the validity of this program. University scientists directly carry out over three-fourths of the experimental and theoretical research in the field. Universities have a leading role in providing intellectual leadership for the field of High Energy Physics and in training of highly skilled scientists and engineers for this and many other fields. 18 # o The capabilities of existing U.S. high energy physics facilities must be improved to keep the U.S. program highly competitive. A key element in maintaining the competitive edge of the U.S. program is the initiation, in FY 1990, of the Fermilab Linac Upgrade project. o Pursuit of long range accelerator and detector R&D studies to develop new and advanced concepts and technologies is critical to the long range viability and continued advancement of the program. Innovative and unanticipated new technologies are essential to the continued enhancement and extension of accelerator and detector capabilities. 19 § & DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST GENERAL SCIENCE AND RESEARCH OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE High Energy Physics Program Change Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 -------------------------- Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Operating Expenses Physics Research. . . . . . . . . . . . . $114,428 $121,762 $121,762 $133,070 $4. 11,308 + 9% Facility Operations. . . . . . . . . . 230, 100 252,364 252,364 277,670 + 25,306 + 10% High Energy Technology. . . . . . . 63,700 65, 108 65, 108 82,040 + 16,932 + 26% Capital Equipment. . . . . . . . . . . . . 76,700 79,800 79,800 85,500 + 5,700 + 7% Construction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 41, 200 40,400 40, 400 37,950 - 2,450 *-> 6% Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 526, 128 559,434 559,434 616,230 + 56,796 + 10% Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . .

This research probes the nature of matter and energy at the most fundamental level and the characteristics of the basic forces in nature. Experimental research activities include: planning, design, fabrication and installation of experiments; conduct of experiments; analysis and interpretation of data; and dissemination of results. Theoretical physics research provides the framework for understanding observed phenomena and, through predictions and extrapolations based on existing theories, suggests key questions for future experimental explorations. This subprogram supports research groups at about 100 universities as well as at Fermi lab, SLAC, BNL, LBL, ANL, LANL, Ames, ORNL, and PNL. Experiments in high energy physics require the use of large particle accelerators, together with complex detection apparatus, to study the results of the collisions of high energy particles. The DOE-supported accelerators are located at three central laboratories, and are made available to qualified scientists on the basis of the scientific merit and promise of their research proposals. Detectors and experimental facilities are located at the three DOE accelerator laboratories, at other accelerators around the world, and at a number of sites not associated with accelerators. More than 75 percent of the research done with these facilities is performed by university-based physicists. Because of the size and complexity of a typical high energy physics experiment, users from a number of institutions frequently collaborate on a given experiment. These research teams typically include a mix of physicists, engineers, technicians, and graduate students. After a research proposal to the laboratory is approved, the research teams participate in the design and fabrication of the experimental apparatus and provide manpower for the experiment during the data-taking phase at the laboratory. There is significant interaction and participation from laboratory staff and use of laboratory support facilities for each experiment. The entire process, from conception of the experiment to publication of results, typically takes up to five years if no major new detector is involved; if major detector design and fabrication is involved, the duration can be several years longer. U.S. user groups also participate in experiments which take advantage of unique accelerator capabilities and opportunities at foreign laboratories such as DESY (West Germany), CERN (Western Europe), and KEK (Japan). There is also a program of experiments not requiring beams from accelerators, of which experiments to search for proton decay and magnetic monopoles are presently the major component. FY 1989 will be a year of strong research output from the new world forefront Tevatron and SLC colliders and new Tevatron fixed target capabilities. A highly productive level of research activity is planned for FY 1990 as the data collected in FY 1988 and FY 1989 is analyzed and these facilities continue to operate in an intensive data taking mode. Experimental groups are planned to be supported at an increased level consistent with the operating level of these facilities. Additional funding will be provided to restore the operational effectiveness and technical capabilities of the university groups. 23 # II. III. A.

Gf these, 4 1/2 months were in the fixed target mode of operation at 800 GeV. During this time all of the upgraded and new secondary beam capabilities built over the last several years as the Tevatron II construction project were fully operational. Fifteen major experiments collected data, two test beams were available, and the last new beam was successfully commissioned. Ten of the experiments were fully completed, and over 35,000 high density magnetic computer tapes were filled with raw data. This concluded the most fruitful and successful fixed target run of the last 10 years, and set new records in The Tevatron is scheduled to be in operation for research for only 8 months during FY 1989. The first 6 months will be the continuation of the colliding beam operations begun in late FY 1988 with four experiments collecting data: the massive general purpose CDF facility, and three smaller special purpose experi- ments. The intensity of the antiproton beams, the numbers of colliding bunches, and the corresponding collider luminosity and data rate are expected to reach new world records. Consequently the fully operational and well calibrated CDF experimental facility has enormous discovery potential and there is great optimism that major and significant new advances in our understanding of the fundamental 28 It is planned to operate the superconducting Tevatron for research for a full 10 months during FY 1990. The year will begin in the fixed target mode of operations begun late in FY 1989, and this run is scheduled to continue for 4 1/2 months. Of the 14 major experiments scheduled to take this data, about half are anticipated to be completed during FY 1990. This period includes the first research utilization of a new gas jet fixed target facility in the antiproton accumulator ring. After a brief scheduled 2 month maintenance changeover and study period, the FY 1990 collider run is scheduled to operate during the last 5 1/2 months of the fiscal year. There are two major new features of this run. It will be the first physics run for the 5 Facility Operations (Cont'd) Program Activity Fermi lab Operations (Cont'd) FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 both instantaneous and integrated intensity of accelerated beam for a superconducting synchrotron. The 900 GeV antiproton on 900 GeV proton colliding beam operations will run for the last 3 1/2 months of FY 1988 and continue well into the next fiscal year. Data will be taken during this period by the fully completed Collider Detector at Fermi lab (CDF) experimental facility and also by three other smaller experiments; similarly now fully complete. ($115,500) properties of matter will result. Once the collider run ends there will be a roughly 4 month period of changeover to the fixed target mode of Tevatron operations, of accelerator maintenance and study periods, and the startup of the new fixed target research program. We project about 2 full months of good research data collection at the end of FY 1989, and a long continuation into the first half of FY 1990. Since 14 major experiments are on this fixed target schedule, only four of which are continuations from the FY 1988 run, another diverse and rich new research program will be started in late FY 1989. Test beams will also continue to be operated during this run. ($122,800) new and largely-completed major second collider experimental research facility; the D-Zero detector facility, which is complementary to the capabilities of the CDF facility and it will add very important new capabilities to the Tevatron collider physics program. Furthermore, CDF will have in operation the first major systems upgrades with, in particular, a greatly increased acceptance for the detection of muons. In addition, continued improvements in the antiproton intensity capability will come into operation and are expected to yield considerable increases in the research productivity of the antiproton-proton collider program. ($134,500) SLAC Operations SLAC operated for about 5 months for physics with the SLC, mostly at reduced pulse rate. Operation at PEP and SPEAR for high energy physics also took place for two months at the end of the year. Funding is included for an upgrade to the central computing facility.

Preface: Capital Equipment Capital Equipment funding is required to provide the secondary beam line components, particle detection apparatus, portable shielding, and data analysis systems essential to do high quality, forefront high energy physics experiments. It is also required for replacement of accelerator and detector facility components that have worn out or become obsolete. A proper complement of detectors and secondary beams is essential for effective utilization and operation of the major high energy physics accelerator and colliding beam facilities. Timely introduction of new beam and detector capabilities, and the regular upgrading and modification of existing capabilities, is essential. The large scale of the equipment required for high energy physics research systems is illustrated by a few examples: a typical secondary beam line can range from several hundred feet to a mile or more in length, and requires many beam transport, beam shaping and control elements; the portable shielding required around detectors and targets can involve arrays of hundreds of shielding blocks weighing as much as 10 tons each; the analysis magnets incorporated in detection systems weigh many tons; large calorimeters of 300 tons or more are not uncommon; and electronics systems with hundreds of thousands of data channels are typically required for major detectors. A time span of as much as five years or more is often involved from design, through fabrication, to installation, checkout, and operation of these large systems. Examples of specific items of equipment needed include: beam transport magnets; large analysis magnets for detector systems; precision regulated power supplies; particle beam diagnostic and control systems; electronic and optical detectors with precision spatial and time resolution; high precision calorimeters and tracking chambers for colliding beam detectors; high speed and large volume data processing systems; special cryogenic components for liquid hydrogen targets and superconducting devices: and a host of specialized electronics and other items of laboratory support equipment. Priority is given in FY 1990 to completion of two major new collider detectors, for SLC and Tevatron, to a major upgrade of the SLAC Central Computing Facility and to sustaining the base program efforts of the laboratories and universities at about the FY 1989 level of effort.

Narrative: (a) Purpose of this project is to increase intensity of extracted beam for the fixed target physics program and luminosity for the collider physics program by approximately 50 percent. (b) This is achieved by doubling the injection energy from the Linac into the booster to 400 MeV in order to reduce the size of the beam bunch. This in turn reduces subsequent beam losses in the booster, main ring, and Tevatron. (c) This project replaces the downstream half of the Linac drift tube accelerating cavities and their obsolete power tubes with new cavities and modern kylstron power supplies. 43 5 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH GENERAL SCIENCE AND RESEARCH (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SUMMARY High Energy Physics IV.

(b) The Accumulator/Booster will improve the performance and capabilities of the AGS for (1) normal proton operation, (2) operation with polarized protons and (3) operation with heavy ions. For normal proton operation, beam intensity will be raised by a factor of 4; for polarized proton operation, beam intensity will be raised by a factor of more than 20; and, for heavy ion operation, ion mass capability will be extended from mass 32 to about mass 200. In each of these three modes of operation, the increased capability will have direct and immediate benefits by making accessible areas of science not previously accessible or by significantly increasing the data collection rate for the experimental program already planned and underway at the AGS. The FY 1990 funding will continue construction of AGS Accumulator/Booster and will permit completion of the project with assembly, installation and test of technical systems, including ring magnets and power supplies, RF systems, vacuum systems, injection and ejection systems, and beam monitor and control instrumentation. 3.

Experimental research in high energy physics most often requires the use of large particle accelerators, colliding beam devices, and large particle detectors. The ability to carry out forefront exploratory research on the physics frontier is critically dependent on the experimental capabilities of the accelerators, colliding beam and detector facilities. Two recent major upgrades of U.S. high energy physics facilities, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) and the Fermil ab Tevatron Collider, are now in operation for research. These facilities will keep the U.S. program highly competitive and at the cutting edge for the next several years. After careful study it has been determined that a new, more powerful particle accelerator capable of exploring the Tev mass region is essential to advance understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy and to enable the U.S. High Energy Physics program to remain at the research frontier in the mid 1990’s and beyond. The SSC is a proton-proton collider having an energy of 20 Tew per beam. The SSC will permit exploration of this new domain of physics research which cannot be reached by any facility either in existence or planned. The SSC holds the potential for new breakthroughs in science, technology and education. It will produce discoveries, innovations and spin-offs that will profoundly touch every American. The project is ready for construction. The SSC design, cost estimates and schedule have been carefully documented and reviewed. The project is backed by an R&D program specifically related to the SSC which began in FY 1984, by prior efforts in the High Energy Physics program to develop accelerator quality superconducting magnets and by the experience gained in the successful operation of the Tevatron. The design of the SSC is based firmly on principles and engineering concepts used previously and is backed by a thorough conceptual design report and cost estimate which have been carefully reviewed by the Department and by outside experts. 49 g The SSC is a critical part of the Administration's initiative to strengthen the scientific and technological position of the nation and to keep this nation on the cutting edge of world leadership and effectiveness. It will be both a symbol of the nation's commitment to scientific leadership in this century and the next, and an instrument by which U.S. leadership can be maintained. Significant funding ($98,613,000) for the SSC project was provided in FY 1989 for R&D, preliminary design and site selection activities. Major R&D achievements are expected in FY 1989; with definitive progress on refining and optimizing the design of the superconducting magnets, completion of Phase I of the magnet industrialization program, initiation of Phase II of the magnet industrialization and initial work on the injectors. Following designation of the site in January 1989, site geotechnical studies and initial site specific design activities will begin. First construction funding is being requested in FY 1990. R&D on SSC technical systems will continue at a strong level in FY 1990. 50 s DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST GENERAL SCIENCE AND RESEARCH OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) Program Change Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 -------------------------- Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . $33,000 $82,613 $82,613 $69,000 $- 13,613 - 16% Capital Equipment. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Narrative: (a) The Superconducting Super Collider is a high luminosity proton-proton collider with beam energy of 20 trillion electron volts (TeV). The collider itself consists of two rings of superconducting magnets and associated systems in a common tunnel, 53 miles in circumference. Four interaction regions will be outfitted with collision halls and support areas for experiments and are in the base project. The project includes a series of injector accelerators which provide the input beam for acceleration and circulation in the collider rings. The associated office and laboratory facilities (buildings, structures, and utilities) required to support the technical systems are also included. The TEC is the full construction cost and does not take into account any anticipated international or state contributions and assumes that the site will be provided at no cost to DOE. This estimate was verified by independent experts. (b) The SSC will ensure forefront experimental capability for continued progress in advancing the frontier of knowledge of matter and energy at its most fundamental level, with resulting impacts on the Nation's science and technology base. The collider will cause oppositely directed bunches of protons to collide, basically head-on, making available a total of 40 TeV of energy within an extremely small volume. These energies are expected to produce new types of matter and new forms of energy. Internal structure, and even more basic building blocks of matter, may be revealed. Large detectors will be used in the interaction regions to detect and record interactions of interest. The SSC, through its investigation of fundamental physical processes, will provide new insights into questions of great 56 § * * *** * significance to other sciences as well as high energy physics, and to our knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live. It will be a powerful, and unique tool for extending those investigations of matter and energy that have led us to an understanding of the atom, the nucleus, and on to their smallest components. (c) Initial construction activities will proceed on a broad front in FY 1990. The request includes $29 million for detailed design of technical systems, $29 million for conventional facilities design, $8 million for power and utilities distribution systems, $8 million for site preparations required to expedite the overall construction project, $20 million for injector technical components which are early critical path items, $30 million for long lead, critical path procurements for collider components (including magnet tooling, superconducting materials, and magnet steel), $28 million for project management, support equipment and rental space and $8 million for the first on-site shop and support buildings.

If yearly appropriations or inflation rates experienced are different than those assumed, these projections may require modification. DOE announced Texas as the preferred site on November 10, 1988. Final site selection will be announed in January 1989 upon completion of the EIS process. Revised cost estimate reflects updated inflation indices and the inflationary costs due to slippage in funding profile. The technical basis of the cost estimate is still the 1986 Conceptual Design Report. Total project construction funding indicated. Funding required through appropriation process will be less as a result of anticipated non-federal contributions presently estimated to total $1.8 billion. The projection of a total non-federal contribution to the SSC of $1.8 billion and the year-by-year spread of the estimated contributions are preliminary estimates. The exact timing of the non-federal contributions will depend on which SSC systems are provided by others and how these systems fit into the project schedule. Improved firm estimates will be available after final site selection and completion of definitive cost-sharing agreements for foreign contributions. 57 ; WOLUME 3 NUCLEAR PHYSICS 59– bo § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FISCAL YEAR 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST GENERAL SCIENCE AND RESEARCH NUCLEAR PHYSICS WOLUME 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Program Overview . . . . . . tº ſº tº º ſº & © tº e º ſº wº º e º e º e º ºs e º 'º º ſº tº gº tº º º tº º e tº e º ſº e º 'º e º º 63 Medium Energy Nuclear Physics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tº e º 'º tº ſº e º ſº º Gº tº e ſº e º te tº gº tº ſº tº ge 69 Heavy Ion Nuclear Physics . . . . . gº º e tº e º º tº e e s e º e g º e º e º e º e º 'º e º e º 'º e e g tº e º ºs 76 Low Energy Nuclear Physics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tº c e º 'º e º e º 'º º e º ºs e º Gº & © tº gº tº º º 83 Nuclear Theory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tº e º e e º e º e e º e s s e º e º e s e tº e º e º ſº tº e º e & 88 Capital Equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . e e d e e s a s e e tº e º e º 'º e º ſº tº e º & ... 89 Construction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94 61 g DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST OFFICE OF ENERGY RESEARCH OWERVIEW NUCLEAR PHYSICS The Nuclear Physics program of the Department of Energy (DOE) has the lead responsibility for Federal support of nuclear physics research and provides about 80 percent of the funding for the field. One primary goal of the program is to understand the structure and interactions of atomic nuclei. A second goal, using the specialized knowledge, techniques and apparatus available to the program, is to understand the fundamental forces and particles of nature as they manifest themselves in nuclear matter. The knowledge acquired in this basic research is an essential part of the intellectual foundation of other scientific disciplines and technical pursuits. Nuclear processes determine the essential physical characteristics of our universe and the composition of the matter which forms it. An understanding of nuclei and nuclear phenomena is essential to any basic understanding of the world around us and provides the informational basis for many areas of technology, such as nuclear power, nuclear weapons and nuclear medicine. Among the direct applications are nuclear techniques for geophysical exploration, testing of materials, and archeological dating and siting. Over the years, many theoretical models have been developed to describe the structure of the nucleus and its behavior. These models have progressed from simple mechanical models of surface vibrations and rotations to sophisticated descriptions of meson-nucleon interactions. Scientists now know that nucleons (neutrons and protons, the constituents of the nucleus), are composed of smaller constituents called quarks. Based on the ways quarks are confined together in groups of three to make nucleons, or groups of two to make mesons, a more fundamental theory of the nuclear force called quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is emerging. The incorporation of QCD concepts deepens our understanding of nuclear structure and interactions and provides significant new challenges to the experimental program. Many of the characteristics and implications of the new QCD formulation of the nuclear force are addressed both by Nuclear Physics and High Energy Physics research programs. However, the nuclear physics program uniquely approaches the problems by testing the theoretical predictions in the medium of extended nuclear matter provided by nuclei composed of many nucleons. A growing number of problems of mutual interest to nuclear physics and astrophysics include measurements or calculations of supernovae, neutron stars, solar neutrinos, heavy cosmic rays, and the continuing problem of stellar nuclear abundances. Of particular interest is the ability of relativistic heavy ion collisions to create a quark–gluon plasma, simulating a stage of evolution of the universe that disappeared a millionth of a second after the initial "big bang." 63 ă The strategy of the program is to address key scientific questions in nuclear physics with new theories, equipment and facilities while maintaining an effective balance between competing and diverse program elements. Essential guidance is provided by the Nuclear Physics program plan, with continuing advice from the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC). Key elements of the plan are reflected in this budget. The program is centered around an active experimental research program which is continually evaluated and revised to focus on the most basic scientific questions. Necessary for proper conduct of this research are efforts in nuclear theory, design and fabrication of sophisticated detectors, and development of creative and skilled personnel. Central to the program are the construction, operation and maintenance of the accelerator facilities which provide the beams of particles upon which the experiments are based. In some areas of nuclear physics, questions are addressed at universities by accelerators dedicated to in-house research, or smaller facilities at some national laboratories. However, many of the newly emerging fundamental problems in nuclear science require large modern facilities designed for the research use of the entire nuclear community. The DOE Nuclear Physics program supports about 80 percent of the basic research in nuclear physics; the National Science Foundation provides most of the rest. In FY 1990 it will maintain a vigorous research program, focusing on current problems of high scientific and technological interest and pointing towards exploitation of the new major facilities. A growing fraction, now about 75 percent, of the scientists supported by the Nuclear Physics program plan experiments and conduct research at the large user dedicated facilities supported by the program. More than 200 scientists do experiments at the Bevalac at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory each year and a similar number make use of the Tandem/AGS at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. More than 325 visiting scientists annually use the multiple beams available at the LAMPF facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for one or more experiments. Over 650 physicists have demonstrated interest in possible future use of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility by joining the CEBAF user's group, and 100 of them are actively participating in the design of experiments. Special emphasis is placed on effective use of the upgraded accelerators at the University of Washington and Yale University, the ATLAS superconducting heavy ion facility at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Tandem/AGS high energy heavy ion beams at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Adjustments have been made within the program to accommodate the increased interest of students and postdoctoral fellows in nuclear physics, to enhance the theory component, and to concentrate the program more accurately on the highest priorities and new scientific areas. In addition, much good science can be accomplished with selected smaller improvements of existing facilities such as the South Target Hall internal target experiment at the MIT/Bates Electron Linac. Other national laboratory and university accelerators will be operated for maximum program effectiveness with selected capital equipment detector projects to optimize facility productivity. 64 ă Research and development in support of next generation accelerators and for advanced detector concepts is included in the Nuclear Physics program. Efforts will continue at Brookhaven National Laboratory for the purpose of confirming the technical basis and further defining the detector configuration for a relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC). The R&D necessary to optimize such, a project is currently being conducted. Emphasis will be placed on prototypes of sextupole and corrector magnets, testing of a full magnet cell, development of ancillary equipment such as beam dumps and beam monitors, and detector R&D. The Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) has assigned and reconfirmed the highest scientific merit for the research to be performed at this type of facility. This high priority was supported by the "Brinkman" report ("Physics through the 1990s," National Research Council, 1986) and an ERAB review of that report (Review of the National Research Council Report "Physics through the 1990s," 1987). The focus of the proposed scientific research will be on understanding the equation of the state of nuclear . and investigating the transition from hot dense nuclear matter to formation of the quark–gluon plasma. 65 ă Activity Operating Expenses Medium Energy Nuclear Physics. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Medium Energy Nuclear Physics subprogram supports operations and research at accelerator facilities with sufficient primary beam energy to produce pi mesons (pions) using projectiles no more massive than alpha particles. In addition, the subprogram supports nuclear physics experiments at accelerators operated by other DOE programs (e.g., High Energy Physics and Basic Energy Sciences) and at other unique domestic or foreign facilities. Two national accelerator facilities are operated entirely under the Medium Energy subprogram--the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Bates Linear Accelerator Center operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These accelerator facilities serve a nationwide community of scientists from over 100 American institutions, of which over 90% are universities. At proton facilities, support is provided for wide-ranging research activities on the scattering of protons and pions, weak interactions, muonic and pionic atoms, selective excitation of proton/neutron states, and giant resonances. At electron facilities, support is provided for high resolution studies of the electric and magnetic structure of nuclei, the motion of pions inside nuclei, and the role of excited states of nucleons in nuclear structure. R&D activities required for the construction of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) and preparation for operation of the laboratory are also carried out under the Medium Energy subprogram.

Preface: Low Energy Nuclear Physics This subprogram emphasizes experimental investigations of nuclear structure, nuclear decay parameters, and low energy reaction mechanisms. These studies also include general tests of fundamental theories and symmetries, as well as more specific and detailed studies of reactions involved in stellar and cosmologic processes. University-based research is an important feature of the Low Energy program. The facilities required are relatively small and appropriate for siting on university campuses. The university-based programs permit excellent hands-on training of nuclear experimentalists, many of whom contribute after obtaining Ph.D.s to nuclear technology development of interest to the DOE. Beginning in FY 1988, this subprogram also includes the DOE Nuclear Data program, which was previously included in the Basic Energy Sciences program. The Nuclear Data program includes nuclear data measurement and nuclear data compilation, and evaluation activities important for nuclear technologies. A.

($284,576) $0 $0 116 à DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST UNITED STATES URANIUM ENRICHMENT CORPORATION OWERVIEW URANIUM. ENRICHMENT The goal of this program is to meet domestic, foreign and U.S. Government requirements for uranium enrichment services in the most economical, reliable, safe, secure, and environmentally acceptable manner possible. Legislation to create a United States Uranium Enrichment Corporation will be submitted to the Congress to establish a wholly-owned Government Corporation that would be responsible for maintaining a reliable and economical domestic source of enrichment services (enrichment of uranium and uranium compounds in the isotope U-235). The Corporation will be self-financing and will not require appropriations or other sources of Government financing. The Corporation will also continue to meet the paramount objectives of ensuring the Nation's common defense and security, to conduct research and development and other activities necessary to meet the objectives of the Corporation, as defined in the proposed legislation. The Corporation is being proposed to provide a long-term competitive, well-managed and efficient enrichment enterprise to enhance national security, maximize the return to the taxpayer for the investment in uranium enrichment, and enhance the prospects for future transfer to the private sector. The Corporation will have an initial debt of $364,000,000 to be paid over 10 years. The Corporation will establish a fund in the Treasury to cover future expenditures for decontaminating and decommissioning the enrichment plants. The Corporation will also provide dividends to the Treasury on Government held stock. The proposed Corporation will take over responsibility for the programs funded under the Uranium Supply and Enrichment Activities account. The Department presently enriches uranium to the desired uranium-235 (U-235) product assay levels in its gaseous diffusion plants (GDPs) located at Portsmouth, Ohio and Paducah, Kentucky. These plants were built in the 1950s to satisfy defense requirements for highly enriched U-235. They are now operated primarily to provide commercial enrichment services to domestic and non-U.S. utility customers. In these plants, the Department enriches customer- provided natural uranium in the U-235 component for a fee that recovers the cost of providing the services. The Department is the sole producer of enrichment services in the United States. The specific statutory authority that established this role is the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The U.S. uranium enrichment enterprise has markedly improved its competitive position since 1984 and is today capable of sustaining its position as the lowest cost producer of enrichment services in the world. In recent 117 g years, special emphasis has been given to providing quality service, competitive prices, and contract terms tailored to meet customer needs. In 1984, the U.S. uranium enrichment enterprise was--by all measures-- noncompetitive and losing sales at an alarming rate. With the support of Congress, the Administration, and our customers, the enterprise is competitive again, and on a more sound financial footing. The proposed legislation to create a wholly-owned Government Corporation is intended to further bolster its financial vitality and assure its long-term competitiveness. Previously, three major issues faced the enrichment enterprise. Tennessee Valley Authority (TWA) "demand charges," which are unrelated to power consumed, had risen to nearly one-half billion dollars per year. In addition, the Department of Energy (DOE) continued to contest a lawsuit filed by domestic uranium miners. The third major issue confronting DOE and Congress was the need to restructure the uranium enrichment enterprise to assure that it can sustain its financial vitality and assure its long-term competitiveness. The TWA dispute has been equitably settled. On June 15, 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the Department’s position on the uranium miner's lawsuit and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings to evaluate the effect of enrichment restrictions on the viability of the domestic mining industry. This action removed near-term anxieties that could prove disruptive to the Department’s enrichment program. Finally, the Department will submit legislation to restructure the DOE uranium enrichment program. By resolving the major liabilities and uncertainties facing DOE’s uranium enrichment enterprise, the United States will demonstrate its commitment to provide enrichment services to U.S. and foreign customers for decades to come. There are multiple budgetary demands placed on the U.S. uranium enrichment enterprise. It must: meet its fixed costs of production; service its financial obligations; conduct production operations at levels capable of economically meeting contractual commitments; and conduct research and development (R&D) as necessary to support the program’s goals. - In the proposed FY 1990 budget, these factors are carefully balanced. Specifically, funding is provided for: (a) operating and purchasing power for the gaseous diffusion plants which meets deliveries at minimum production costs, . - - (b) payment to the Tennessee Walley Authority (TWA) based upon the DOE/TWA settlement agreement of December 18, 1987, - - (c) a sound R&D program focused on demonstrating the laser enrichment technology by the end of 1991 on the most economical basis possible, (d) aggressive and cost effective environmental, safety and health (ES&H) programs consistent with the Department's overall ES&H policies and objectives, 3.18 ; (e) payment to the Treasury for interest on the $364,000,000 debt, and (f) payment to the proposed decontamination and decommissioning fund. The FY 1990 budget request includes $633,000,000 to purchase power to provide sufficient production capability at the GDPs to assure that expected customer requirements for enriched uranium can be satisfied. The budget request for power also includes $311,000,000 for payments to TWA consistent with the December 1987 agreement between DOE and TWA which resolved the excess DOE contract demand dispute. The FY 1990 budget identifies funds for important and growing environmental restoration activities at all three gaseous diffusion plant sites. In addition, the FY 1990 budget assumes that Defense Programs will directly budget for approximately 50 percent of certain permanent shutdown and remedial action activities at the shutdown Oak Ridge, Tennessee diffusion facilities. This request is consistent with the Department’s increasing efforts to protect the public and the environment from potential releases of hazardous materials from the GDPs due to past : operations. The activities to be conducted with these funds are the Department’s current best estimate of what will be required to assure that the GDP sites are maintained in compliance with applicable state and Federal environmental regulations. The FY 1990 budget request includes $148,000,000 for the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) program. This funding level will permit the Department to focus on a specific demonstration completion date (i.e., by the end of 1991) within a definitive cost profile. Because of lower cost projections, the AWLIS technology provides protection against future energy cost increases and exploitation of advanced technologies by other enrichment suppliers, while enhancing the prospects for significant market penetration after 1995. The budget is prepared in the face of a significant uncertainty in FY 1989 that may impact FY 1990. In the FY 1989 budget to Congress, the Department identified an unbudgeted potential liability of about $90,000,000 (excluding interest) associated with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits of two power suppliers, Electric Energy Incorporated (EEInc.) and Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC). The IRS audit of EEInc. was settled in FY 1988 and the Department's liability was reduced from about $10,000,000 to $2,000,000 which is included in the FY 1990 budget request. However, with regard to the IRS audit of OVEC, the Department faces a potential liability of about $45,000,000. OVEC is actively contesting the IRS audit, but also billed the Department $25,300,000 to cover a portion of the potential liability. In compliance with its contract with OVEC, the Department paid the bill with the understanding that the funds will be returned to the Department if the audit is resolved in OVEC's favor. The Department is assisting OVEC in its attempt to resolve the issues raised by the audit. However, if the audit issues are not resolved in FY 1989 or not resolved in OWEC's favor, the Department will be required to reduce power purchases by $25,300,000 resulting in a production loss of about 1 million SWU. At the same time, the Department is projecting that sales to commercial customers may increase by about 700,000 SWU. The potential sales increase } 19 ; is reflected in the Department's FY 1989 revenue estimate of $1,374,000,000. The actual amount of increased sales will not be known until the April/May timeframe when customers are required to finalize their FY 1989 orders. The potential loss of SWU production coupled with the potential increase in SWU sales may require the Department to request additional power funds in FY 1989 in order to produce the SWU required to meet deliveries. If additional funds are required in FY 1989, the Department will seek a reprogramming of existing appropriations. The budget uncertainties associated with the tax liability and production requirements in FY 1989 may require revisions in the FY 1990 budget. ; : Activity DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST URANIUM ENRICHMENT (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Uranium Enrichment Activities Gaseous Diffusion Operations and Support Operating Expenses. . . . . . . . . . . .

The decreased payments for the Tennessee Valley Authority demand charges totalling $154,000,000 partially offset the increase in power purchases. In FY 1989, a reprogramming request for $40,100,000 for diffusion related operating funds was approved, primarily to provide for new safeguards and security and environmental, safety and health activities. These activities will continue in FY 1990 and will require approximately the same level of funding. Additional operating funds totaling $23,000,000 are required for escalation, additional personnel and fringe benefits; capital equipment funds increased by $200,000 and construction increased $5,000,000 primarily to provide for installation of additional autoclave capacity at Portsmouth. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +228,400 Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation • The increase is to accelerate the demonstration of the technology by the end of FY 1991.

The GDPs at Portsmouth, Ohio and Paducah, Kentucky, will be operated at appropriate production levels to minimize power costs while reliably meeting commercial and defense requirements for enrichment services. Through FY 1989, the inventory of enriched uranium will continue to be drawn down to enable the enterprise to meet deliveries at reduced production cost. In addition, during FY 1988 through FY 1990, DOE will continue to use its natural uranium feedstocks to reduce power outlays by operating the GDPs at a tails assay in excess of the average transaction tails assay. Power will be purchased under long-term contracts from Electric Energy Incorporated (EE Inc.) for the Paducah GDP and from the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OWEC) for the Portsmouth GDP. In FY 1988 and FY 1989, the reduced operating levels of the GDP complex require power purchases below existing contract levels with EEInc. and OVEC, which necessitates that the Department will pay capacity charges to the power suppliers for power not purchased to the extent that efforts to negotiate reduced contract demand levels are unsuccessful. The amount included in the FY 1990 budget estimate for payments to TWA for excess contract demand total $311,000,000 and are consistent with the December 1987 agreement between DOE and TWA which settled the contract dispute between the two parties. Over the past several years, the Department has made a concerted effort to reduce its inventory of enriched uranium to the minimum working inventory. The benefits of reducing the inventory are reduced carrying costs and reduced power costs. The Department, in holding only a minimum working inventory, is required to budget annually for enough power to produce all the enriched uranium needed to meet expected sales. The amount included in the FY 1990 budget for power purchases totals $631,000,000 and will permit the production of about 12.2 million SWU to meet expected sales requirements. As a result of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits of EEInc., DOE is liable for about $2,000,000. Funds to pay off this liability have been included in the FY 1990 budget. The IRS audit of OVEC is still underway, but DOE’s potential liability is estimated to be about $45,000,000. Funds have not been included in the FY 1990 budget for this potential liability. The Department and its operating contractor will continue to operate the GDPs in a safe, environmentally sound and cost-efficient manner. Operations will be identified and supported to make the enterprise attractive and efficient as a possible private entity. The operation of the diffusion plants will be staffed to ensure customers' orders are met on time, safely, and with appropriate analytical support to ensure the product quality and adherence to specifications, necessary for customer satisfaction. The maintenance activities necessary to the continuing high reliability of equipment performance will be fully supported. A consolidated technical support program to improve process systems and equipment will continue, including the activities necessary to transfer and utilize more efficient process equipment from the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP) to the two operating plants. A range of supporting services will be provided to the operating sites including interplant shipment, warehousing of uranium, e.g., uranium tails storage, engineering studies to support capital improvements, and production planning. Finally, a full range of marketing activities will continue to be supported to ensure the enterprise meets its objective. Environmental costs associated with operating facilities are included in this activity. However, the costs associated with site remediation and decontamination and decommissioning of surplus facilities are included in the Environmental Restoration account and are not included under this activity. 125 ; II.

The near-term objective of the research and development program is to reduce the technical uncertainties of the AWLIS technology to acceptable levels, in order to allow for commercialization of the process. The Department has committed to complete a production demonstration by the end of 1991 in order to ensure that transition to a commercial plant is both timely and successful. Early demonstration of AVLIS by the Department or a competitor could have a very important marketing effect. Current enrichment contracts extend through FY 1998 and sales opportunities of about $1.5 billion are available in FY 1999 and FY 2000. Many utilities are expected to make decisions in the early 1990s for their post-1998 needs. Therefore, completion of the AWLIS production demonstration by the end of 1991 is expected to be a major factor in the successful capture of significant market volumes in the post-1998 time period. The Uranium Demonstration System (UDS) will utilize a full-scale separator in the Separator Demonstration Facility (SDF) and optical power from the Laser Demonstration Facility (LDF). The major demonstration will be designed to measurably reduce risks for plant deployment and narrow the bounds on technical performance, operability, and economics at full scale. The development activities will be structured so as to establish confidence in AVLIS enrichment performance and in capital and operating cost projections based on demonstrated experience. In the FY 1989-90 time period, activities will focus on continued operation of existing facilities to gather data that will ensure successful operation of systems to be used in the full-scale demonstration. Throughout the period, individual components and subsystems will be designed, installed, tested, and redesigned in an iterative process to improve performance and reliability and lower cost. Planning activities will begin, as necessary, for eventual deployment of the technology. - Beginning in FY 1990 a significant expansion of activities is required to support major multi-year procurements and supporting development associated with the early 1990s demonstration program. Areas requiring significant increases in funding are: Lasers • Initiate procurement and installation of additional copper vapor lasers Separators • Construct a demonstration-scale uranium metal handling facility • Initiate procurement and installation of the UDS separator Uranium Processing • Complete construction and initiate operation of a pilot scale cell to convert uranium ore to uranium metal. • Complete facility modifications for a product conversion facility. Deployment Planning • Initiate planning necessary for eventual deployment of the technology. | 3 3 ; III . Preface: Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation - (Cont'd) By the end of FY 1990, the AVLIS technology will be well on its way to demonstrating the performance goals necessary to complete the demonstration by the end of 1991. The first integrated enrichment runs were completed, as planned, in FY 1987 and FY 1988. The first two copper vapor laser corridors have accumulated more than 1 million hours of laser unit operation. Individual laser units are expected to have achieved more than 90 percent of their laser power performance goals and 80 percent of their reliability goals. Procurement of hardware for the additional copper lasers will be completed. The materials development and component testing program will have resulted in selecting the design of the extractor device for the full-scale UDS in which the enrichment experiments will be run. Initial development work and procurement will be completed for full-scale hardware to demonstrate the capability to integrate the AWLIS feed and product processing into the nuclear fuel cycle. A reference (point) design of an AVLIS plant has been established to focus development on the most economic and critical factors. AVLIS development is shared and jointly funded with the Special Isotope Separation (SIS) Program under the Assistant Secretary for Defense Programs (ASDP). The shared areas are Lasers, Process Development, and System Integration. The AWLIS program and schedule discussed here in assumes continued appropriations for the SIS program at levels sufficient to support the objectives and schedules as developed by the ASDP. A.

This includes the copper vapor lasers, dye lasers, optical transport systems, assembly and refurbishment facilities, and aux liary systems such as dye pumping. Work in FY 1990 will generally be a continuation of efforts begun in FY 1989 with primary emphasis on: (1) continued operation of the first two copper laser corridors, (2) procurement of additional copper lasers, (3) development and testing Activity will continue in three major areas: (1) operation of the first two copper vapor laser corridors, (2) design of additional copper lasers to be instal led in FY 1990 and FY 1991, and (3) expanded development and testing of improved copper laser components. }34 § i II. Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (Cont'd) Program Activity Lasers (continued) Uranium Separators FY 1988 cooling water, electrical, and mechanical systems. Development activity in lasers proceeded in four major areas: (1) continued operation of the first corridor of copper vapor lasers in the LDF, (2) completion of initial operation of the second corridor of copper vapor lasers, (3) providing laser light to the Mars uranium separator for the second integrated enrichment test series, and (4) continued design, test, and evaluation of concepts for the second generation copper vapor laser amplifier. Both the copper vapor and dye laser systems in LDF were operated continuously to improve laser component performance, to further increase reliability and to reduce cost. The second corridor of copper vapor lasers, consisting of six laser amplifier chains were started, tested, and integrated with the first corridor to double the copper laser power output of the facility. One and one- half corridors were used to provide light for the second integrated enrichment test series which was completed by mid-year. Development activities included incorporation of improved laser heads and switching devices in copper lasers. The dye laser and optical systems were upgraded to accommodate the additional copper laser power from the second corridor. ($28,600) Separator development includes all activities to design, construct, operate, and test uranium separator systems which are the devices in which uranium enrichment takes place. Inside of a vacuum chamber, uranium metal is vaporized and then separated FY 1989 The first two corridors of copper lasers will be operated to improve performance and increase reliability, collect reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) data for use in the reliability growth program, and serve as a testbed for prototype equipment in a fully operational system environment. Based on the results of the operations and development activities carried out in FY 1988 and FY 1989, design will begin on improved copper vapor lasers. This design update will consolidate the current technology base. In the dye laser and optics area, high performance dye laser chains will be tested and evaluated. Work will begin on the design and construction of a prototype laser optical system which will transmit the laser light within the UDS separator chamber. ($43,800) The major thrust will be on completing the design and releasing long lead procurement items for the UDS separator and ancillary equipment. Additional testing in Mars without laser light will focus on configura- tion modifications and operational ji 35 FY 1990 of improved copper laser, dye laser, and optical components, and (4) completion of the design of an advanced copper vapor laser. The first two corridors of copper lasers will continue to be operated to improve performance and increase reliability toward production plant goals, to collect RAM data for use in the reliability growth program, and serve as a testbed for prototype equipment in a fully operational system environment. Design of a new generation of higher powered copper lasers will be completed. The objective of this development will be a higher power copper laser which is more reliable with lower costs per unit of delivered power. In the optics area, construction and testing will be completed on a prototype optical system to transmit laser light inside the UDS separator. ($49,500) The major emphasis in FY 1990 will be on installation and checkout of the UDS separator. Full-scale extractor and other component testing will be conducted in the late part of the year to permit the design iteration of the pod and other components prior to ; III. Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (Cont'd) Program Activity Uranium Separators (continued) FY 1988 into product and tails streams by an electrically charged extractor device. This equipment is supplemented by high voltage power supplies, a vacuum system, feed and withdrawal systems, cooling water, computer operated instrumentation and controls, and extensive facilities to refurbish vaporizers and extractors after a number of operating hours. Separator development is characterized by the three major test facilities, of which two, the Mars and SDF, are already in operation with the third, the UDS separator, remaining to be built. A second series of integrated enrichment demonstrations in the Mars facility using laser light from the LDF to further evaluate subsystem technology was performed. Process performance was evaluated based on the results of ongoing experiments and a previous set of experiments completed in FY 1987 and used as a basis for the initial design of the full scale separator system. Subsequent to the integrated enrichment demonstrations, separator design verification tests for separator components and subsystems were conducted in both Mars and SDF. The comprehensive development program to address detailed vapor source and electron gun technologies was continued. Stable, high rate and efficient vapor sources were evaluated. Evaluations of alternative separator materials which have the potential to improve performance and reduce cost were continued. Structural materials and surface treatment techniques were developed and evaluated in response to the continued advancement of separator and metals handling technologies. FY 1989 improvements. A series of extended tests will be conducted in the Mars to characterize the vapor source. These efforts will serve to continually refine the design basis for the UDS separator. Primary emphasis will be on engineering development of separator hardware such as developing equipment and techniques to improve long-term operations, testing of more efficient, lower cost materials for the separator module and testing simplified uranium feed and product withdrawal systems. Internal material handling features will be redesigned, as necessary, to permit long-term operation. Existing refurbishment facilities will be augmented to handle the increasing demands for refurbishment of separator systems as they become available for longer test runs. Development will continue on reducing the life cycle cost of the refurbishment portion of separator operations. Engineering support for both the Mars and SDF facilities will be provided. ($42,900) | 36 FY 1990 enrichment demonstrations in FY 1991. In separator support systems, a uranium metal handling facility will be deployed to meet the need for various forms of uranium metal in the UDS as well as other separator facilities. This facility will prepare uranium metal in the necessary form to feed into the UDS or other facilities and convert the output from those facilities into the necessary form for the next stage of processing. Engineering support for the Mars, SDF, and UDS facilities will continue to be provided. ($49,500) ă I | | . Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (Cont'd) Program Activity Uranium Separators (continued) Uranium Processing FY 1988 Engineering support for both the Mars and SDF facilities was provided. ($28,800) This activity is concerned with all research, development, and demonstration of processes to integrate AWLIS into the commercial nuclear fuel industry. The existing industry is based on the use of uranium hexafluoride as input and output of the gaseous diffusion plants, whereas the AVLIS process uses uranium metal. Adaptation of processes which avoid the use of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) has the potential of saving 15-20% of the cost of a separative work unit as compared to the use of UF6 based processes. Development is broken into two major branches; feed conversion which involves the conversion of natural uranium ore into uranium metal as feedstock to the AWLIS process and product conversion which converts the uranium metal product from AWLIS into a form which can be made into nuclear fuel for use in nuclear reactors. The successful implementation of AVLIS enrichment requires the integration into the established private sector uranium processing industry. Plans for the next 3 years are to continue discussions with potential industrial participants and to establish joint development and demonstration contracts to encourage the cooperation of private industry in the cost effective implementation of AWLIS uranium processing. In feed conversion, economic analysis has suggested that a uranium conversion process called electrolytic reduction, similar to that used in the aluminum industry, offers the best FY 1989 In feed conversion, bench-scale development efforts and auxiliary equipment testing will be completed. Design and construction of a prototype electrolytic reduction cell to convert uranium on to uranium metal will be initiated. In product conversion, conceptual designs will be completed for the remaining portions of the conversion cycle. The bench-scale data and conceptual designs will be used to modify the product processing cost estimates as necessary. Design of a prototype metal conversion facility will be completed in sufficient detail to permit release of long lead procurement items. Efforts to obtain the cooperation of private industry in the cost effective implementation of AWLIS uranium processing will continue. ($6,900) § 37 In feed conversion, construction of the prototype electrolytic reduction cell will be completed and operation initiated. In product conversion, construction of the prototype product conversion facility will be completed. Uranium metal producers, feed converters, and fuel fabricators will be actively involved in the integration of AVLIS technology into the nuclear fuel cycle. Information meetings will be held with private industry on the status of the AWLIS program and to develop plans for interfacing. In particular, fuel fabricators will be encouraged to participate in joint development and demonstration contracts for integrating the AWLIS product into fuel assemblies for reactor loading. ($7,500) § III. Atomic Vapor laser Isotope Separation (Cont'd) Program Activity. Uranium Processing (continued) Process Development and Deployment Planning FY 1988 potential to substantially reduce feed preparation costs. The FY 1988 activity focused on bench scale development efforts towards optimizing reduction cell design variables. Design and construction of bench scale feed conversion electrolytic cell equipment and testing was initiated. On the product conversion side, bench scale and engineering scale tests on the chemistry of dissolving and purifying the uranium metal was carried out. The data obtained was used to complete process flow sheets and prepare conceptual designs for the purification portion of a prototype product conversion facility. Studies in the areas of fuel qualification, environmental compliance, criticality/ accountability/safeguards, and transportation were performed to guide refinements in the product conversion program plan. ($2,700) The process development element is concerned with understanding the theoretical physics for the AWLIS process and performing the system integration function. Providing the physics support to the various ams of the program includes computer modeling of the integrated process physics, and participation in the planning, execution, and evaluation of integrated process tests. Special diagnostics to measure process performance in lasers and separators are designed and developed. It is also the focal point for the preparation and periodic update of the process point design which specifies the process performance requirements necessary to optimize plant economics. FY 1989 A detailed analysis of the FY 1988 Mars integrated enrichment results will be documented. Model predictions and correspondence with actual system performance will give an overall understanding of the state of resolution of AVLIS process related issues. An updated numeric point design will be issued. This will be used as a basis for the plant preconceptual design report. ($4,900) FY 1990. The numeric point design will be updated. In addition, enrichment goals for the 1990s UDS/LDF enrichment series will be issued. Enrichment performance estimates will be based on expected hardware performance levels and process model predictions. Methods to improve photoionization performance based on novel concepts will be explored. A preconceputal design for a production plant will be completed. Preparation for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing, prelimi- nary safety analysis reports and other regulatory planning will begin. A more detailed environmental analysis for a plant will be initiated. ($8,400) § III. Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (Cont'd) Program Activity Process Development and Deployment Planning (continued) Systems Integration FY 1988 The planning element includes the strategic and operational long range planning activities necessary to provide the basis for application of the uranium AWLIS technology. The second Mars integrated enrichment series was completed and the results obtained were in agreement with performance model predictions. As was done in FY 1987, results of the physics/enrichment runs were analyzed and submitted for independent review by members of the AWL1S Technology and Engineering Review Group. A plant point design was issued. ($2,575) This element consists of thcse overall support activities required for the execution of the line elements of the program.

Also included in this activity are the sale of enrich-ent services to other Government programs, advance payments received from custo-ers, and miscellaneous revenues related to uranium enrichment activities. The preparation of the Department's estimates of uranium enrichment revenue collections is a time consuming and complex process. This process starts with customer provided estimates of delivery requirements. However, the enrichment contracts do not require customers to provide firm orders for deliveries in the current fiscal year until 180 days before the end of the current fiscal year, while customers also provide the Department with estimates of future requirements, they are not always reliable. In preparing revenue estimates for future years, the Department takes the customer provided information and modifies the data using information derived from the Muclear Regulatory Commission reports on reactors, trade journals and industry periodicals, past experience with individual customers, reports on customer inventories and fuel cycles, known reactor shutdowns, licensing and initial power operations. trend data, foreign exchange rates, political concerns, etc. The data used in this process is quite dynamic and customer requirements and the Department's revenue estimates change accordingly. In recognizing the difficulty in accurately predicting revenue collections, the Department includes in its estimates contingency for potential slippages in customer requirements and for late payments. On June 15, 1988, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of the Department of Energy in its writ of Certiorari in the case of F. Clark Huffman, Et. Al. Petitioners vs. western Muclear, Inc., Et. Al. The case was remanded to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for further proceedings consistent with that opinion. At the present, the Department believes the decision will not impact its FY 1989 and FY 1990 revenues estimates. However, revenue estimates will be reassessed should the Court of Appeals render a new decision. A.

Approximately 6,000 cylinders will be procured. Cylinder storage yards with adequate lighting and cylinder saddles will be constructed at each site for UF6 tails storage. New mobile cylinder handling equipment will also be purchased. 156 ; IV. B. Plant Funded Construction Project - 89-N-501 (Cont'd) (b) (c) The withdrawal of UF6 tails material from the diffusion plants into cylinders for long-term storage is necessary to support cascade operations. The number of cylinders is determined by the operating level for each of the plants. The design of the cylinder has been standardized and procedures for safe handling and storage have been developed over a period of 35 years. 14-ton cylinders, (4 feet in diameter by 12 feet long) filled to capacity with UF6, approaches the weight of 35,000 pounds each. Large straddle carriers or specially designed cylinder haulers and cranes are used to move and position the containers in the storage yards. The surface on which the handling and stacking operations are performed are specially prepared to minimize the safety hazard to personnel. Based on current projections of plant operations, this project will provide cylinders, storage yards and handling equipment for Fiscal Years 1990 to 1993. Delay in procurement of cylinders and construction of cylinder yards would force a curtailment of gaseous diffusion plant operations.

Narrative: (a) This project provides the system necessary to rapidly change the amount of UF6 inventory in the gaseous diffusion plant located at Paducah, Kentucky. New storage vessels equipped with cooling/heating coils will be connected to the existing gaseous diffusion equipment in numerous locations within the existing facilities. As in-process inventory control becomes necessary, the storage vessel (s) will be activated to freeze out UF6 gas or to sublime solid UF6 for inventory reduction or addition respectively. 17 Obligational authority totalling $20,000,000 was transferred via a reprogramming to the Gaseous Diffusion Operations and Support operating expenses in FY 1989. i58 § IV. B. Plant Funded Construction Project - 88-N-502 (Cont'd) (b) Utilization of low cost nonfirm electrical power to reduce production costs has been demonstrated (c ) at the gaseous diffusion plants. The process inventory control system will supply the means to utilize nonfirm electrical power in the gaseous diffusion plant at Paducah, Kentucky. Nonfirm electrical power is projected to be available for one-half to one-third the cost of firm, contract power: . This lower cost power is available as off-peak and/or seasonal and is subject to supply and recall by the supplier on extremely short notice. Since utilization of electrical power in the gaseous diffusion process is directly related to the amount of UF6 inventory in the operating cascade equipment, rapid changes in power level can only be accomplished with a process system capable of making rapid changes in the UF6 inventory. The storage vessels to be installed by this project will provide the means to rapidly change in-process UF6 inventory while maintaining optimum cascade efficiency. This project will provide the capability to utilize up to 1,000 megawatts of lower cost, nonfirm power. Deletion or deferral of this project will result in significantly higher uranium enrichment production cost in the 1990’s. The capability to purchase lower cost power and lower product costs is essential if the United States is to remain competitive in the enriched uranium market. Conservative estimates indicate electrical power cost savings of approximately $360,000,000 could be achieved through the year 2007 by the construction of this project. The FY 1990 obligational authority of $25,000,000 will provide for continuation of procurement and construction. j ñ9 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST URANIUM ENRICHMENT (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SUMMARY Uranium Enrichment Activities IV.

Necessary modifications and additions will be made to the liquefaction systems and facilities for UF6 sampling, product and tails withdrawal and toll transfer. Non-containment heating vessels for feed vaporization will be replaced with newly designed and improved containment autoclaves, and all existing high pressure autoclaves will be equipped with safety systems as dictated by ongoing safety analysis studies. l/ Excludes $15,000,000 transferred to the Energy Supply R&D appropriation in prior years. 2/ Obligational authority totalling $1,400,000 was provided via reprogramming from other Uranium Supply and Enrichment Activities appropriation accounts. | 60 § IV. B. Plant Funded Construction Project - 82-R-413 (Cont'd) (b) Additional autoclave capacity is needed at the Portsmouth GDP. When the Oak Ridge GDP was placed in standby in 1985, the Portsmouth GDP was required to conduct all toll enrichment activities. Since then, however, product inventory has been depleted and customer demands and power levels are expected to increase significantly over the next five years. Therefore, the additional autoclave capacity is needed to meet the higher toll transfer and feed requirements associated with the increased production requirements. To meet this need, four autoclaves and two bridge cranes will be relocated from the Oak Ridge GDP and the GCEP respectively and installed in a building addition to the X-344A facility at Portsmouth. A delay in the expansion of this project would force the plant to operate with inadequate autoclave capability, which could result in production delays and missed customer orders. FY 1990 obligational authority of $7,600,000 is requested to initiate procurement, construction and engineering inspection activities. | 61 § VOLUME 3 GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FUND § PROPOSED APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE Geothermal Resources Development Fund For carrying out the Loan Guarantee and Interest Assistance Program as authorized by the Geothermal Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1974, as amended, $75,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the indebtedness guaranteed or committed to be guaranteed through funds provided by this or any other appropriation Act shall not exceed the aggregate of $500,000,000. 165 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FUND OWERVIEW GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FUND The Geothermal Resources Development Fund (GRDF) supports the Geothermal Loan Guaranty Program (GLGP) which was authorized by the Geothermal Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1974, Public Law 93-410, as amended. The purpose of the GLGP is to encourage the commercial production of geothermal energy by guaranteeing lenders against losses on loans made to qualified geothermal projects, thereby inducing lenders to allocate capital to such projects. The GLGP also serves to develop normal borrower-lender relationships which will provide financing of geothermal projects without Federal involvement in the capital markets. The GRDF serves as a reserve against defaults on loans guaranteed under the GLGP, as well as a source of funds for administrative support for the GLGP. Public Law 93-410 authorized total guaranty authority of $500 million. To date, 8 loan guaranties have been issued with a total face amount of $285.4 million. Of these, one is outstanding ($49.9 million), while 3 loans have been repaid and the guaranties released ($49.5 million). The remaining 4 loans (with a total face amount of $184.6 million but actual disbursements of only $38.7 million) have defaulted and been paid off by DOE under its guaranty obligations. § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FUND Program Change Request vs Base FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 -------------------- Activity Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollar Percent Geothermal Resources Development Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . * tº e g º º $50,052 $75 $75 $75 $0 0% Staffing Total FTE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . l l l l l Authorizations: o P.L. 93-410, "Geothermal Energy Research Development and Demonstration Act of 1974, Title II" o P.L. 95-238, "Department of Energy Act of 1978 - Civilian Applications, Title W" o P.L. 96-294, "Energy Security Act, Title VI." § 67 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FUND (dollars in thousands) SUMMARY OF CHANGES Geothermal Resources Development Fund FY 1989 Appropriation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + $75 Adjustments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Operation and maintenance is accomplished in a manner that: insures integrity of the Federal investment; maximizes reliability of service; maximizes energy production; and minimizes long-term costs. Power is marketed to achieve the most widespread use at lowest possible rates consistent with sound business principles and repayment requirements. Public benefits from other uses of project lands and facilities include visitations, recreation, fisheries development, and municipal water supply. Project facilities include dams, reservoirs, powerplants, transmission systems and necessary maintenance facilities. Power is marketed at wholesale to five Alaskan utilities. The projects represent a current Federal investment of $113,000,000 and a replacement value in excess of $275,000,000. The FY 1990 request for funding and personnel ceilings assume continued operation of APA. However, DOE and APA will continue to pursue the completion of the sale of APA assets to the State of Alaska and a consortium of local interests. If the sale is completed before the end of FY 1990, expenditures for the year could be substantially below the requests. Program objectives in continuing operation, maintenance, and marketing of power from Eklutna and Snettisham are: e Maximize energy production, provide reliable service to customers, and minimize long-term costs while protecting the Federal investment. e Market power in accordance with authorizing legislation; continue full utilization of Eklutna and Snettisham energy and peaking capability; expand Snettisham capability within present authorization by completion of construction of Crater Lake unit in FY 1989. e Perform all necessary maintenance to project facilities, including scheduling and installing necessary major replacements and improvements to those facilities, so long as the projects remain in Federal ownership. f 74 ; e Continue to enhance public use of project lands and facilities, visitation, reservoir recreations, and cooperation with Alaska Department of Fish and Game in salmon production program at Snettisham Project and with Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association for their hatchery at Eklutna Project. Continue cooperation with Municipality of Anchorage on its Eklutna Water Supply Project. e Sale of APA to non-federal owners. In 1985, condition monitoring of the Eklutna generator windings disclosed deterioration of insulation on one unit and resulted in operating restrictions for the unit. In July 1988, additional monitoring was performed. The results were favorable, suggesting that procurement of replacement generator windings can be deferred until further deterioration is evident. Partial funding ($254,000 of an estimated $1.5 million cost) for replacement of the Eklutna generator windings was included in the FY 1989 budget. These funds will be used for preparatory specifications so that procurement of replacement windings can be expedited if necessary. The request assumes that the $200,000 in emergency funds appropriated in FY 1984 will remain available in FY 1990, and that no new emergency funds will be needed. Accomplishing the objectives outlined above will result in APA meeting its responsibility of operations, maintenance, and power marketing for the Federal hydroelectric projects in Alaska. 175 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY ALASKA POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE ALASKA POWER ADMINISTRATION Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 — Request vs Base Activity Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollar Percent Operation and Maintenance . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3, 191 $ 3,279 $ 3,279 $ 3, 145 $– 134 –4% Emergency Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 0 0 0 0 0% Subtotal Alaska Power - - Administration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3, 191 3,279 3,279 3, 145 - 134 - 4% Deferral Applied . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - 165 - 120 - 120 0 + 120 +100% Total Alaska Power Administration $ 3,026 $ 3, 159 $ 3, 159 5T3, T45 - 14 0% Staffing Total FTE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33 35 35 35 Authorization: e Section 302, Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977. 176 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY ALASKA POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) SUMMARY OF CHANGES Alaska Power Administration FY 1989 Appropriation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3,279 Adjustments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 FY 1990 Base . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,279 erations and Ma ance - Replace 115-KW Circuit Breakers; Eklutna . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - 250 - Major Maintenance Items, Eklutna and Snettisham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4- 56 - Equipment and Vehicle Replacements and Purchases, Eklutna and Snettisham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - 205 - Initiate Replacement of Eklutna Generator Windings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - 254 - Major Maintenance Items, Eklutna and Snettisham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + 170 - Equipment Purchases, Eklutna and Snettisham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + 105 - Engineering Analysis, Eklutna and Snettisham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + 221 - Increase in Operation, Maintenance, and Administration of Programs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + 135 FY 1990 Congressional Budget Request . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3, 145 177 § III.

Bonneville provides wholesale electric power service to a 300,000 square-mile service area that encompasses Oregon, Washington, Idaho, western Montana, and portions of several other states in the Columbia River drainage basin. As part of its mission, BPA plans and acquires generation and conservation resources in the region, plans and constructs regional and interregional transmission facilities, plans for the equitable distribution of the benefits of the Federal Columbia River Power System among regional utilities, and carries out fish and wildlife mitigation and enhancement measures. FUNDING BPA requires no appropriations. Annual operating expenses and Treasury payments are funded from receipts from the sale of power and the provision of bulk transmission services to the region's generating utilities. Capital investments for Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation power generation projects are financed from appropriations and BPA capital investments are generally financed from Treasury borrowing. BPA is authorized to borrow up to a cumulative outstanding total of $3.75 billion from the U.S. Treasury. Capital program obligations in FY 1990 are estimated to be $232.0 million, of which $218.5 million is new borrowing authority. To the extent BPA capital borrowing authority is insufficient in FY 1990 or any other year, BPA would use deferred borrowing carried forward from prior years and/or revenues to complete any planned capital program activities. Amortization of BPA bonds will total $159.0 million. This will result in a net use of $59.5 million and leave an unobligated balance of $1,685.6 million in borrowing authority. In FY 1990, BPA's payments to the Federal Treasury are expected to be $644 million for interest, amortization of bonds, and the operation and maintenance of Federal projects. Through FY 1990, BPA plans to have paid about $8.8 billion to the U.S. Treasury. At the end of FY 1988, the amount of unpaid Federal investment in power and irrigation facilities assigned to BPA for future amortization is estimated to be approximately $9.0 billion. This amount includes investments financed by annual appropriations as well as those financed by borrowings from the Treasury. BUDGET SUBMISSION This FY 1990 budget submission contains no major new programmatic initiatives. The obligation level is 20 0 § $2.7 billion, an increase of one percent over FY 1989. The increase is primarily due to increased operations and maintenance (0&M) costs associated with thermally generated power which BPA sells. The program levels proposed have been the subject of extensive public review and discussion via BPA's Programs in Perspective Process. Comments received through early October of 1988 have been considered in deciding program levels proposed in this document. These program levels will also be used to develop BPA's initial rates proposal for FY 1990–91. Legislation is being proposed for submission with the President's 1990 budget that would change BPA's repayment method. This budget submission assumes these changes will be effective in FY 1990. The proposed changes include straight-line amortization of unpaid power and irrigation assistance funded through appropriations and use of market interest rates. This budget has been prepared in conformance with the FY 1989 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act (P.L. 100-371). The act contains specific language pertaining to BPA's ability to incur obligations in excess of borrowing authority and cash in the BPA Fund. MARKETING An exceptionally good year for the aluminum industry, combined with the effects of BPA's Wariable Industrial Power Rate, resulted in net revenues near BPA's original rate case projection. These revenues were realized despite continued poor water conditions, which virtually eliminated export sales of non-firm energy, and a combination of low reservoir levels and thermal outages, which substantially reduced sales of surplus firm power. Efforts continue to consummate improved and innovative marketing arrangements to help dispose of the region's long-term power surplus, to improve BPA's revenues, and to stimulate healthy economic conditions. In September 1988, BPA completed a Record of Decision (ROD) to go forward with the northern portion of the Third AC Intertie, based on economic and environmental analysis. BPA will not begin construction until necessary actions are taken by California participants, including agreements with Northwest parties on the terms of constructing, operating and using the Third AC Intertie. BPA is in the final stages of evaluating options for additional non-Federal participation in the northern portion of the Third AC Intertie and plans to release a proposal for public comment by the end of 1988. In addition, earlier in 1988, after 4 years of development and public discussion, BPA adopted a policy for long-term access to its share of the Intertie. In October 1988, BPA and Southern California Edison (Edison) signed a 20-year sales and exchange contract. Under the agreement, Edison will purchase 134 average megawatts, up to 250 peak, of capacity and an annual 1.2 billion kilowatthours of energy starting July 1, 1989. In late November, BPA entered into an agreement with Puget Sound Power and Light to deliver 655,350 megawatthours of firm surplus energy between October 1 301 § and March 31 for up to 12 1/2 years. The maximum delivery rate is 300 MW and makes use of excess BPA power that is available in winter. BPA has also signed memorandums of understanding that are expected to lead to power sales contracts with other California utilities and is negotiating power sales with several Northwest utilities. The Intertie Access Policy, the high level of interest in the participation study and BPA's eventual recommendations, coupled with the recent sales agreements with California utilities, underscore the increased importance of interregional cooperation in energy markets, including those affecting BPA. FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY Cost control continues to be a major theme at BPA. BPA is exploring with customers and other interested groups alternatives for reducing its fixed costs, particularly the high-interest debt service for the Washington Public Power Supply System bonds. Both redemption and refinancing of high interest bonds are being considered. Redemption could be accomplished by methods such as customer pre-payments of billings, or designing rates to produce positive met revenues and, when revenues are average or better, to take advantage of debt reduction opportunities over the long term. There are no legal impediments to redemption; there could, however, be a rate effect. BPA and the Supply System are also continuing to explore a conventional bond refinancing, the possibility of which was enhanced by passage of recent legislation. As refinancings occur, they would reduce BPA's annual debt service on its long-term debt and improve its financial flexibility. Redemption and refinancing are not mutually exclusive, and each could help BPA improve its financial flexibility. One of the primary benefits of the resulting increased financial flexibility for BPA would be improved assurance that BPA will be able to continue making its scheduled Treasury payments from operating revenues. g 3 2 § Capacity Resources (MW) System Hydro (9 USBR & 21 USCE projects) Large Thermal TOTAL Capacity Resources Energy Resources (kWh) (000) Energy generated for BPA: Federal Firm Hydro Secondary Hydro (non-firm) Thermo WNP-2 Hanford l/ Centralia.

The first section includes five programs for which borrowing authority (BA) is being proposed. The second section includes the twelve programs funded from power sales and transmission service revenues and reimbursements, as well as BPA's capital transfers to the Treasury. Four programs (Energy Resources, Transmission System Development, System Maintenance, and Fish and Wildlife) have both capital and expense components. To get a programmatic view in each area, it is necessary to look at both the capital and expense Key Activity Summaries. Total dollar levels for the programs can be found in the table on page 2. Expense subtotals are displayed on the back of page 2 and capital subtotals are displayed in the table on page 3. PROGRAM STRUCTURE CHANGES There are some changes in program structure and program names in the FY 1990 budget. These changes are explained below. ° The capital portion of the former System Planning and Construction Program has been divided into two components. The Transmission System Development Program provides for the planning, design, and construction of additions and enhancements to the transmission system. System replacements are now included in a new capital portion of the System Maintenance Program. Funding for financial participation in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has been moved from the expense portion of the old System Planning and Construction Program to the agency overheads so that the cost can be distributed to all benefitting programs. The remaining expense components of the former System Planning and Construction program are included in the Transmission System Development program. ° The Energy Conservation Program has been combined with most of the Resource Planning, Acquisition and Oversight Program into one Energy Resources Program. This was done to collectively address all of the resource requirements for accomplishing the common objective of meeting BPA's new load growth in the most cost-effective manner. The capital portion of the Energy Resources Program is essentially the same as the capital portion of the prior Energy Conservation program. The expense portion of the Energy Resources Program includes the expense portion of the former Energy Conservation Program and most of the 3.36 “, J § Resource Planning, Acquisition and Oversight Program except the category Wheeling and Other Services which includes: Wheeling Services, Power Purchases, Storage Return, and Upstream Benefits. Wheeling Services has been moved to the Power Marketing Program and the latter three items to the Power Scheduling Program because they more closely relate to the objectives of those programs. BPA's payment to the Treasury under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Coordinating Agreement has been moved from the Interest and Associated Project Cost Program to the Reimbursable Program to better reflect the nature of this payment. 207 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST BONNEWILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY BORROWING AUTHORITY I. Preface: Energy Resources - Capital II. During BPA's reorganization last year, the need was identified to combine the Energy Conservation Program and most elements of the Resource Planning, Acquisition and Oversight Program into one Energy Resources Program. This was done to collectively address all of the resource requirements for accomplishing the common objective of meeting BPA's load obligations in the most cost-effective manner. The capital portion of the Energy Resources Program discussed below is essentially the same as the capital portion of the prior Energy Conservation Program. The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 (Pacific Northwest Power Act) requires BPA to treat conservation as the region's highest priority resource in planning to meet the Administrator's load-serving obligations. The Energy Resources Program provides for acquisition of cost-effective conservation measures, including measures for new and existing home and commercial building construction, industrial and commercial equipment, irrigated agriculture, and residential appliances. The energy produced by the measures is based on the acquisition component in each of the program areas and energy use impacts from pilot or demonstration programs. In formulating the FY 1990 Energy Resources Program capital funding levels, BPA examined program levels in the context of a revised resource program, current levels of program participation, and the emphasis placed on lost opportunity resources, pilot, demonstration and evaluation efforts called for by the 1986 Northwest Power Planning Council's (Council) Northwest Conservation and Electric Power Plan (Power Plan).

Activity Description: Energy Resources - Capital (continued) Program Activity Industrial FY 1988 Industrial programs continued to ac- quire site-specific energy efficiency projects, and began to develop the capability to acquire savings in the future when needed. The Energy Savings Plan began in FY 1988 to provide in- centives to improve the efficiencies of electrical equipment for manufactur- ers, processors and refiners. The on- going agricultural program continued to increase the energy efficiency of irrigation by changeover to low pres- sure systems and efficient water scheduling. These activities produced 1.9 AMW of savings in FY 1988. , ($3,328) FY 1989 Industrial programs will comtinue to acquire site-specific energy efficiency projects, and emphasize the development of capability to acquire savings in the future when needed.

FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST BONNEWILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY BORROWING AUTHORITY Preface: Transmission System Development - Capital Beginning with this budget, the capital portion of the System Plaming and Construction Program has been divided into two . The Transmission System Development Program provides for planning, design, and construction of transmission line, substation and control system additions and enhancements for the transmission system of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) in the Pacific Northwest. System replacements are now included as capital investments in the System Maintenance Program. An expanding Pacific Northwest economy resulting in higher-than-expected load growth, coupled with deferral of previous years' transmission projects, has created a need to reinforce the BPA transmission system. Major focus of the FY 1990 Transmission System Development program is to provide facilities for these increasing loads while maintaining acceptable levels of system reliability. As an example, new transmission facilities are proposed to serve a significant new load in the Port Angeles area by FY 1991. Funding to continue work on the Third AC Intertie, including the Alvey-Meridian transmission line, is included in all fiscal years. During FY 1990, BPA plans to continue engineering and construction on substation and line facilities currently underway. Although no new substations and only 5 miles of met additions to line facilities are planned for energization for FY 1990, a variety of upgrades to existing substation and line facilities are scheduled for energization in FY 1990. .

Preface: System Maintenance - Capital Beginning with this budget, the capital portion of the System Planning and Construction Program has been divided into two components. System replacements are now included as a capital component of the System Maintenance Program. This program provides for planning, design, and construction work to replace transmission line, substation, control system, and general facilities for the transmission system of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) in the Pacific Northwest. After 12 years of BPA-imposed funding constraints limiting replacements and other system maintenance, a "catch-up" program is being developed. Both expense and capital elements of the System Maintenance program will be addressed in a FY 1989 plan to bring all scheduled maintenance current by the year 2000. The proposed funding for FY 1990 is primarily for replacements of critical portions of the power system which have a high risk of failure or excessive mainterance due to age and deterioration. Much of this equipment is 30 to 50 years old, beyond its useful life, and lacks spares and factory parts support. Capital additions and enhancements to the transmission system are found in the Transmission System Development Program. II.

BPA discharges a major portion of its fish and wildlife responsibilities and reduces the Administrator's obligation by funding projects designed to carry out the intent of the Northwest Power Plaming Council's (Council) Fish and Wildlife Program. The proposed FY 1990 program reflects BPA's continued commitment to 1) its responsibilities under the Pacific Northwest Power Act, and 2) supporting the Council's Fish and Wildlife Program. The FY 1990 program will fund continuation of projects begun in FY 1988 or before with increases largely attributable to projects reaching the design and construction stages in FY 1990.

Provides for general and dedicated special purpose automatic data processing (ADP) equipment, capital software development, and special-use furniture and equipment in support of all BPA programs. The FY 1988-1990 ADP equipment acquisitions will add equipment to BPA's mainframe computer and upgrade or replace some of the terminals and systems that intercomect with it. These investments are expected to increase the capacity, reliability, and productivity of BPA's central Computer system. Technical computing capacity will be acquired in FY 1990 to meet growing technical computer workload. Expansion of BPA's mainframe computer, orginally expected to occur in FY 1990, has been delayed. During FY 1987-1988, Capitalized Software Development included the development of six major information systems. These included systems for financial management, project management, maintenance scheduling, material management, and power billing. By FY 1991, all but one of these systems will be completed and operational. No new management information systems are currently planned to be initiated during FY 1990–91. With the move to the new headquarters building in 1987, the need for acquisition of capital office equipment returns to the level of routine replacements and additions. In FY 1990, there is an increase of $600,000 to acquire previously deferred office capital equipment.

Preface: Residential Exchange The Pacific Northwest Power Act created the residential exchange program to extend the benefits of low-cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of investor-owned and publicly owned utilities. Although it appears to be primarily a power transaction and is so treated in BPA's rate proceedings, the residential exchange is not a power transaction in the conventional sense. In effect, the program acts to lower the rates paid by the residential and small fam customers of exchanging utilities. No power is transferred to or from BPA. The gross cost of the exchange is offset by revenues. The Residential Exchange consists of the Residential Purchase and Sale Agreement (RPSA) and the Exchange Transmission Credit Agreement (ETCA). For the RPSA, the paper transaction operates as follows: BPA acquires certain amounts of power offered for sale by participating Pacific Northwest electric utilities. That power is acquired at each utility's "average system cost" (ASC), which includes both generation and transmission costs. In exchange, BPA must sell an equivalent amount of electric power to the participating utilities for resale to the utilities' residential and small farm customers in the region. The power is sold at BPA's Priority Firm (PF) Rate, which is generally lower than the utilities' ASC. Since the same amount of power is involved, the "sale" of power is an accounting procedure used to determine the amount of benefit to be received by customers of exchanging utilities. In practice, only dollars are exchanged. The ETCA, a much smaller element of the residential exchange gross cost, is available to BPA's public utility and cooperative customers and limits their benefit payments to the cost of their transmission facilities. The payments, however, cannot be greater than the amount that the utility would have received if it had participated in the RPSA. Changes from year to year in exchange costs are due to combinations of factors including increases in utilities' ASC, load growth, the number of utilities participating in the program, and the level of BPA's own rates.

These requirements are met by scheduling the power to be generated at each Federal plant. Power scheduling activities also include weather and streamflow forecasting, controlling the storage and utilization of water in the reservoirs, and coordinating power production with the multipurpose operation of the Columbia River and related intertie system. Finally, the power scheduling function is also composed of the preparation of Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) seasonal load resources planning activities and current short-term operating plans and the short-term marketing of BPA's firm surplus. This program is becoming increasingly complex due to the evolving mix of BPA's hydro and thermal generating resources, constraints on hydro operations and BPA emphasis on power marketing. During BPA's reorganization last year, the need was identified to put all activities relating to the scheduling of power into the same program. As a result, Power Purchases, Storage Return and Upstream Benefits were moved out of the Resource Planning, Acquisition and Oversight program and into this program.

The Council of PNW State members was established pursuant to the Pacific Northwest Power Act of 1980. Its major activities center around the periodic preparation of a Northwest Conservation and Electric Power Plan (a 20 year electric energy demand and resource forecast and energy conservation program) and a Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program of loss mitigation and resource enhancement actions. The Council will monitor implementation of its Power Plan and Fish and Wildlife Program and revise them as changing conditions require. Major revisions will be undertaken every 5 years if no significant changes cause a major revision in the interim. Funding for the Council is provided by BPA and is recoverable from BPA rates. The Pacific Northwest Power Act directs that expenses of the Council (subject to certain limits) shall be included in BPA's annual budget submitted to Congress pursuant to the Transmission Act of 1974. The limits are computed as a millage rate times the kilowatthours of firm power forecasted to be sold by BPA.

The reimbursable activities are performed by existing BPA staff at the expense of the benefiting utilities. The projects must be beneficial under the one-utility concept, BPA operations and to the Federal or non-Federal entity involved. Additionally, these activities contribute to more efficient or reliable construction, operation and maintenance of the Federal transmission system or otherwise enhance electric service to the region. This program consists of funds received and credited to the BPA fund for commodities, work or services furnished by BPA to Federal and non-Federal entities. The majority of the program is for funding for reimbursable power purchases. BPA's new program structure results in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) payments moving to this program from the Associated Projects Costs Program. FERC payment is a reimbursable activity in which BPA serves as an agent for non-Federal hydro operators for the collection of funds due to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to Section 10(f) of the Federal Power Act and the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement.

Preface: Energy Resources - Expense During BPA's reorganization last year, the need was identified to combine the Energy Conservation Program and most elements of the Resource Plaming, Acquisition and Oversight Program into one Energy Resources Program. This was done in order to collectively address all of the resource requirements for accomplishing the common objective of meeting BPA's load obligations in the most cost-effective manner. Four activities have been moved out of the Resource Acquisition Program and into other programs. Wheeling moved to the Power Marketing Program. Power Purchases, Upstream Benefits, and Storage Return moved to the Power Scheduling Program. The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 requires BPA to treat conservation as the region's highest priority resource in planning to meet the Administrator's load-serving obligations. The Energy Resources Program provides for funding cost-effective conservation measures, identifies the Administrator's load obligations, plans for the development of resources, and acquires resources as needed. The program also provides funding for the purchase of contractually committed generating resources. In formulating the FY 1990 Energy Resources Program expense funding levels, BPA examined program levels in the context of a revised resource program, current levels of program participation, the need to contain costs in the short-term but meet BPA's long-term power supply obligations in a cost-effective manner, and the emphasis placed on lost opportunity resources, pilot, demonstration and evaluation efforts called for by the Northwest Power Planning Council's (Council) Northwest Conservation and Electric Power Plan (Power Plan). Ninety-five percent of the FY 1990 expense funding for this program is essentially fixed. It consists of generating plants' debt service of $616.2 million, generating plants operation, maintenance, and preservation costs of $271.8 million, and the comtractually committed costs for EWEB residential weatherization of $2.1 million and Aluminum Smelters Conservation/Modernization of $8.4 million. The remaining five percent of the program, which is subject to BPA control, has been constrained to minimize adverse effects on BPA's long-term debt and wholesale power rates while still meeting essential program requirements. BPA is working with the other entities involved (City of Idaho Falls, Supply System and Portland General Electric) and its customers in general to investigate additional future areas for cost control. These areas consist of the possible refinancing of Supply System bonds and the operations and maintenance costs of the generating plants.

Other support activities, such as planning, budgeting and project scheduling are provided to the Transmission System Development Program. In-house R&D is primarily applications development for specific program needs of the BPA Power System. FY 1990 in-house efforts will focus on: 1) developing improved, reduced cost alternatives for meeting power transmission and analysis needs, particularly the unique needs of the PNW-PSW interties; 2) extending the useful life and capacity of existing facilities; 3) increasing the effectiveness of BPA's system operations and maintenance program; 4) assuring the safety and reliability of the power transmission system, (5) investigating the impacts of BPA's programs, technologies, and facilities to assure environmental compatability; and (6) investigating emerging technologies, such as superconductivity and artificial intelligence, to determine possible applications on the BPA System. During FYs 1988 and 1989 this program has also included accounting adjustments resulting from an analysis of outstanding capital work orders to determine whether they should be expensed. Few adjustments are expected after FY 1989, because activities previously expensed through accounting adjustments are now budgeted as expensed obligations. The planned capital investments for the Transmission System Development Program are found in a separate key activity summary. Funding for BPA's participation in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has been moved from this program to the agency overheads so that the cost can be distributed to benefitting programs. * Summary Table: Program Activity FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 * Change Transmission R&D and Program Support 14,364 11,000 10,900 –37 Prior Year Expenses 10,750 6,200 —% O TOTAL 25,114 17,200 10,900 –37 º 48 I.

For several years, BPA has constrained its maintenance program due to overall cost pressures on its rates. A bad log of about 11,000 maintenance tasks has resulted. BPA has now begun a "catch up" drive to reduce the maintenance bad:log and increase its preventive maintenance. During FY 1989, a new long-term maintenance plan will be developed, including alternatives for bringing all previously deferred maintenance bad, on schedule. Management will then make decisions about how to further pursue catch-up activities, and on what Schedule.

Preface: Fish and Wildlife - Expense Provides for protection, mitigation and enhancement of Columbia River Basin fish and wildlife affected by the development and operation of hydroelectric projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries pursuant to Section 4(h) of the Pacific Northwest Power Act. BPA discharges a major portion of its fish and wildlife responsibilities and reduces the Administrator's obligation by funding projects and activities designed to carry out the intent of the Northwest Power Planning Council's (Council) Fish and Wildlife Program. BPA's fish and wildlife expense activities include resource studies and evaluation, facility planning, and facility operation and maintenance, as well as minor construction (i.e., facilities costing less that $1 million, with economic life of less than 15 years). The upward funding trend reflects the maturity of the program with increased funding supporting implementation of the Council's 1987 Fish and Wildlife Program amendments and operation and maintenance of completed capital projects.

Upon termination by the Supply System of WNP-4 and -5, the participants in those projects demanded that the heretofore equitably shared costs be reallocated retroactively so that a greater portion of costs would be absorbed by WNP-1 and -3, the net-billed projects. After the adverse decision of the State of Washington Supreme Court in Chemical Bank's state court actions to enforce the participants' agreements, Chemical Bank intervened in this as bond fund trustee to prosecute the participants' demands in the cost-sharing case on behalf of the WNP-4 and -5 bondholders. Chemical Bank most recently claimed that if it is successful the two net-billed projects may assume additional costs up to $750 million. b. Status of the Case The Department of Justice filed an answer, counterclaim and cross-claim. The court has dismissed the Supply System as plaintiff, substituted BPA as plaintiff, and made the Supply System a defendant. The case was assigned to Judge Richard Bilby of Tucson, Arizona. Judge Bilby stayed discovery pending resolution of the mothballing case. Judge Browning has replaced Judge Bilby. As described in Subsection 2(b) directly below, Judge Browning has vacated Judge Bilby's orders. The Department of Justice has reargued its motion to dismiss the cost-sharing claim 259 : pursuant to the procedure established by Judge Browning. By order of July 10, 1985, Judge Browning reinstated all of Judge Bilby's substantive decisions in the cost-sharing case. In July 1986, Judge Browning lifted the January 1984 stay imposed in the cost-sharing litigation and set a briefing schedule for dispositive motions not requiring discovery. Briefing of motions for summary judgment was completed by January 1987. Oral argument took place May 12, 1987. Judge Browning took the matter under advisement and has not ruled. 2. Mothballing Case d. Nature of the Case By May 1983, the Supply System was unable to sell bonds to finance the construction of WNP-3. BPA recommended that the Supply System "mothball" or implement an extended construction delay of WNP-3. Because BPA declined to approve proposed Supply System Amended Annual and Construction Budgets providing for BPA to fund completion of WNP-3, the IOU owners of a 30-percent share in WNP-3 filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to compel BPA to proceed immediately with funding completion of that project. The IOUs also filed claims for breach of contract against BPA and the Supply System. BPA's decision not to fund completion of WNP-3 was based on the fact that the cost thereof was too great to be included in BPA's rate structure during the project completion period. The Supply System invoked a provision in the Ownership Agreement to refer to a Special Board the question of whether BPA's refusal to approve the Supply System's Amended Annual and Construction Budgets was in accordance with prudent utility practice. Even though BPA and the IOUs resisted this procedure, Judge Bilby ordered that Board members be nominated in accordance with the provision of the Ownership Agreement and conduct proceedings on this question. The Special Board hearing commenced November 28, 1983, and submitted its report to Judge Bilby on January 6, 1984. Status of the Case On November 23, 1984, Judge Bilby ruled on BPA's obligations under the related agreements. Judge Bilby disqualified himself from all litigation involving the Supply System on January 21, 1985 due to a conflict of interest and was replaced by Judge William D. Browning. On May 16, Judge Browning vacated all rulings made by Judge Bilby except for discovery orders and prior stipulations and orders resulting therefrom. Judge Browning asked parties within 20 days to reurge any motions that resulted in orders which were vacated by filing one-line statements urging reconsideration of such motions on the briefs and arguments submitted to Judge Bilby. In July, 1985, Judge Browning reinstated all of his predecessor's rulings, except the decision on summary judgment. 280 É BPA and the IOUs and the Supply System entered into a settlement agreement on September 17, 1985. The guiding principle of the settlement was to put the IOUs in a position similar to what they could have expected had WNP-3 not been mothballed. Thus, BPA is obligated to deliver an amount of power (expected to be 191 annual average MW) to the IOUs over the expected life of a nuclear power plant (30-32 years). The precise amount of power and its costs to the IOUs will depend upon the performance of four nuclear power plants similar to WNP-3 located elsewhere in the country. In exchange for the power, the IOUs will make combustion turbines available for BPA's use and give BPA an irrevocable offer to purchase their share of the Project at the cost to complete and operate the Project. Before BPA can accept that offer it must engage in proceedings mandated by the Northwest Power Act. The settlement agreement has generated a new round of litigation. A group of public utilities, including the City of Tacoma and the large Clark and Cowlitz County PUD's, have insisted the settlement violates a number of BPA's statutory obligations and constitutes a breach of the agreements governing WNP-3. The settlement agreement contemplated these challenges and provides for severability among its major components. Thus, if, for example, the irrevocable offers of the IOUs project shares are declared invalid, the remainder of the settlement remains in full force and effect. If all the substantive provisions are declared invalid, the covenant not to sue limits the IOUs to action for recission of the Ownership Agreement for WNP-3. They have forever waived their rights to money damages from BPA and the Supply System resulting from the mothballing of the plant. On September 30, 1985, Judge Browning established a briefing schedule allowing public utility parties to the litigation to file supplemental pleadings regarding the illegality or validity of the settlement agreement or reasons why the claims of BPA, the IOUs, and the Supply System in the case should not be dismissed. Judge Browning stayed all matters pending as a result of the May 16 vacation order and all discovery on issues not related to the settlement agreements. Judge Browning established a briefing schedule on challenges to the settlement agreements. In July 1986, Judge Browning dismissed all claims against the Government challenging the settlement on the basis that subject matter jurisdiction was exclusively in the Ninth Circuit under the Northwest Power Act. The public utilities and a ratepayer organization which had challenged the settlement in district court had also filed original actions in the Ninth Circuit under the Northwest Power Act. The Ninth Circuit established a briefing schedule for jurisdictional motions. The i Government moved to dismiss many of the challenges on jurisdictional grounds. The Ninth Circuit motions panel decided in October 1986, to refer these motions to a merits panel. Briefing on the merits was completed November 30, 1987. Oral argument was heard on March 9, 1988. No decision has been rendered. 261 § Benton County PUD v. United States, No. 590-82-C (Ct. Cl. filed November 18, 1982); CTaTſam and Snohomish PUDTV. United States, No. 29-83-C (Ct. Cl. filed January 18, 1983); City of Tacoma V. United States, No. 5TA-83C (Ct. Cl. filed August 2, 1983). l. Nature of the Case - U.S. Claims Court Litigation In the Benton County case, the plaintiffs, ll public utility districts in the State of Washington, filed to recover damages resulting from their participation in WNP-4 and -5. Plaintiffs allege that BPA induced them to participate in the Supply System's WNP-4 and -5. They contend that BPA oversold power to its DSI customers and, based on anticipated power demands in the region, the power to be generated by the projects would be needed to meet BPA's commitments to deliver firm power to its preference customers. Clallam County PUD No. 1 initiated further litigation alleging the same claims stated in the Benton County case and alleging additional grounds for relief: breach of contract; unlawful taking of property rights in their preference contracts; breach of preference statutes; failure of BPA to implement an alleged implied obligation to obtain authority from Congress to net-bill WNP-4 and -5; and breach by BPA of its oversight duties with respect to WNP-1, -2, and -3. On August 2, 1983, the City of Tacoma and Nespelem Walley Electric Cooperative, Inc., filed a complaint in the U.S. Claims Court alleging substantially the same contentions contained in Benton County. Status of the Case # of Tacoma and Benton # were consolidated August 31, 1983. The Government has filed a motion for summary judgment in both the Benton County and Clallam County cases seeking dismissal of the actions on the ground that the casesThave been rendered moot by the Washington State Supreme Court decision in the Chemical Bank case which released the WNP-4 and -5 participants from liability under their agreements on those projects. The claims court judge has stayed these cases indefinitely. Pursuant to the settlement memoandum of understanding entered into by BPA plaintiffs and certain defendants in the MDL 551 litigation discussed in "D" below, these cases should be dismissed with prejudice. £62 § C. Chemical Bank v. PUD No. 1 of Benton County, Washington, et al., No. C83-1080 (W.D. Wash. filed August 3, ). l. Nature of the Case This action was originally filed against more than 600 organizations and individuals, including: (l) the Supply System; (2) all 23 members of the Supply System; (3) all 88 participants in WNP-4 and -5 (which includes 20 of the 23 Supply System members); (4) individual members of the Supply System Board of Directors between 1976 and 1981; (5) individual members of the WNP-4 and -5 Participants' Committee; (6) individual members of the governing bodies of each of the 88 participants and each of the 23 members; and (7) BPA. Against the non-Federal defendants, Chemical Bank (Bond Fund Trustee for WNP-4 and -5) alleges violations of Federal and Washington State securities statutes, common law fraud and misrepresentation and negligence. The alleged misrepresentations concern the participants' authority to enter into the Participants' Agreements, the need for power from the projects, the ability to market bonds to finance completion of the projects, and the Supply System's inability to construct the projects in accordance with published budgets and schedules. The claim against BPA was dismissed in December 1983, for failure to file an administrative claim as required by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Chemical Bank filed the required claim with BPA and refiled its action against the United States in April 1984. Chemical Bank asserted that BPA was negligent in allegedly planning WNP-4 and -5 in compiling load forecasts showing a need for the power to be produced from WNP-4 and -5 when in fact there was no such need. It also alleged that BPA failed to warn the Supply System, bondholders and the public of material adverse information it knew regarding construction and financing of WNP-4 and -5. Chemical sought to recover the principal amount of all outstanding WNP-4 and -5 bonds, a total of some $2.25 billion. Chemical Bank is also asserted a claim on behalf of the Supply System against the United States in indemnity, to the extent that the Supply System is liable to Chemical Bank on Chemical's claims against it. These original pleadings have been dismissed and replaced with allegations that BPA negligently conducted oversight of Supply System construction activities and negligently participated in project financing activities . A claim for indemnity is still asserted on behalf of the Supply System. In December 1983, Judge Bilby dismissed the individual utility governing body members as defendants, and denied all other motions to dismiss. This case is consolidated with the MDL 55l litigation discussed below, and is a summary of events occurring since filing of Chemical's complaint as Summarized in section D(2) below. Status of Case See D 2. below. 363 § D. In re Washington Public Power Supply System Securities Litigation, J.P.M.D.L. No. 551 (W.D. Wash. filed August 23. #. 1. Nature of the Case This is a consolidated proceeding involving 13 separate class actions brought on behalf of those who purchased WNP-4 and -5 bonds prior to the termination of the projects on January 22, 1982. Additional lawsuits have been brought on behalf of those who purchased WNP-4 and -5 bonds during the period from January 22, 1982, until the decision of the Washington Supreme Court on June 15, 1983. The bond purchasers are suing the same defendants as in the Chemical Bank suit as well as the underwriters, attorneys, architect/engineers, financial consulſtant, consulting engineer, and attorneys involved with the participants in the Supply System WNP-4 and -5. In late 1983, class plaintiffs solicited bondholders to file tort claims against BPA on the alleged grounds that BPA undertook an active role in furthering construction of WNP-4 and -5. Upward of 15,000 tort claims have been filed against BPA for an amount in excess of $1 billion. Class plaintiffs also filed a claim purporting to represent all similarly situated bond purchasers. In September 1984, after the 6-month statutory waiting period passed under the FTCA, class plaintiffs amended their complaint to plead a negligence claim against the United States which is substantially identical to the claim asserted by Chemical Bank and joined as plaintiffs approximately 10,000 individual claimants. Subsequently, additional individual plaintiffs have been joined as their 6-month statutory waiting period passed. Status of the Case In January 1986, Judge Browning ruled that the Government was exempt from tort liability under the discretionary function exception to the FTCA. As a result, he dismissed the case against the Government. He did not rule on the other grounds for dismissal urged by the Government. In February, the plaintiffs moved the court for the right to file new pleadings on the ground that the new allegations would not violate the discretionary function exception to the FTCA. Although they alleged the same acts as before and merely changed the language of the complaints, in June the court allowed the amendments as to those portions of the complaint which alleged negligent oversight of the Supply System and negligent financing activities related to WNP-4 and -5. Negligent forecasting remains barred by the discretionary function exception. The litigation team filed a new motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds in December 1986. On October 21, 1987 Judge Browning granted that motion. However, Judge Browning did not certify his order for appeal. Thus, plaintiffs' rights to appeal has not run. 364 ; The court appointed a settlement master to direct settlement talks among the parties, and as part of that process ordered plaintiff bondholders to file proofs of claim with the court. Discovery of fact and expert witnesses has been completed. Trial began on September 2, 1988. During the past year, various defendants have settled under separate settlement agreements with varying terms and conditions. Judge Browning has issued orders severing settling defendants from the trial proceeding and staying any further proceedings against settling defendants, pending final approval of each settlement agreement. On August 30, 1988, the Supply System entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their suit against the Supply System. The Supply System agreed to the entry of a consent judgment against it for breach of contract in the amount of the face value of outstanding bonds for failure to pay bondholders. Payment of the judgment is specifically limited to WNP-4/5 assets and funds. No other payments are required by the Supply System. On October 31, 1988, BPA, the State of Washington, and various utility defendants settled collectively for about $236 million. This includes contributions from the State of Washington of $10 million (subject to legislative appropriation) and $35 million from the Federal Government ($20 million from the BPA Fund and $15 million from the Judgment Fund). The settlement must be approved by Judge Browning. As part of the settlement, plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their suit against BPA. The settling defendants agreed to dismiss their U.S. Claims Court suits against BPA. All parties agreed to forego any future claims they may or may not have against BPA or the assets, revenues, and funds of the net-billed plants as a result of the WNP-4/5 default. In addition, utility defendants which had previously settled, except for Clallam PUD, agreed to dismiss their U.S. Claims Court suits. All settling defendants are barred from seeking contribution from BPA. As a result of the settlement, only three defendants are left in the case. They are United Engineers and Consultants, EBASC0, and Paine Webber. The settlement agreement provides for plaintiffs to indemnify BPA against any claims that may be brought against BPA, or the assets, revenues, or funds of the net-billed projects by the remaining defendants. As of November 3, 1988, Judge Browning has not issued a severance and stay order for the settling defendants. Utility Tort Claims In late February and early March 1985, BPA received tort claims from ten Oregon utilities and five Oregon utility managers, alleging liabilities arising out of the construction and financing of WNP-4 2.35 ; and -5. Each claim alleges damages of $2.25 billion. Those claims are not yet connected with the MDL 551 litigation; however, they arise from the same factual situation and are likely to become part of this litigation. These utilities and managers have not sued the United States since filing these claims. If the settlement is approved, these claims would be barred. M.G. I.C. Indemnity Corporation v. PUD No. 1 of Benton County, Washington, et al., No. C84-690, consolidated with MDL No. 55; . The plaintiff insured the holders of some of the WNP-4 and -5 bonds. Upon the Supply System's default on those bonds, the plaintiff paid the insured bondholders for losses. It now seeks to recover those payments from the United States. The complaint is virtually identical to the one filed in MDL 551. BPA was dismissed from this case by Judge Browning in January 1986. Plaintiff did not seek to amend its complaint. Technically, the case remains pending subject to entry of the final judgment dismissing the CaSe. Other Supply System Litigation The "Chinese wall" cases are three lawsuits brought by contractors regarding claims for goods and services provided for WNP-4 and -5. In some cases, these contractors also worked on other Supply System projects (WNP 1, 2, or 3), raising issues as to which project(s) received the benefit of materials and services. These litigants have asserted a right to execute on all the assets of the Supply System, including WNP-1, -2 and -3 to satisfy any judgments in their favor for WNP 4/5 debts. The term "Chinese wall" derives from the Supply System's legal position that each project is a separate legal entity, and one project cannot assume responsibility for debts of any other project. Each of these lawsuits has resulted in money judgments against the Supply System. In the American Air Filter case, the State court judge has ruled that the judgment is only recoverable from WNP-4Tand T-5 funds. An appeal of this case is now stayed as American Air Filter is involved in bankruptcy proceedings. In the Pittsburg Des-Moines case, the Federal District Court ruled that a debt for work performed for the WNP-5 pTant was only payable from WNP-4/5 project funds. This case is on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In Lampson Universal Rigging, the State court found that the debt was incurred by WNP-1, and payment is therefore payable from -1. This case is closed and there is no appeal. ; A. II. Rates Litigation Commonwealth Aluminum Corp. v. United States, Claims Court No. 80-88C. l. Nature of the Case. Georgia Pacific Corp. v. United States was unilaterally withdrawn by the DSI's. The DSI's filed the above action in Tts place. The DSI's contend that the 1983 IP-83 rate, which includes a "customer charge," is a violation of the DSI long term contracts which permit only an "energy charge" and a "demand charge". The DSIs seek damages, interest, and attorney's fees. Status of the Case U.S. filed motion to dismiss on res judicata and collateral estoppel grounds on October 31, 1988.

United States, U.S. Claims Court No. 258–86, filed July 9, 1986 (also FTTETTSETCTFTCETAPE. OTAFFTTZTT385 under Commonwealth Aluminum Corp. v. Bonneville Power Administration, No. 86-7216). l. Nature of the case Commonwealth's dispute arises from the Incentive Rate Contract (IRC) which was in effect from September 1, 1985, through June 1986. Under this contract, BPA sold power at a substantially reduced rate to its DSI customers. During the term of the IRC, the DSI 20-Year Power Sales Contract º: in effect, and was applicable to all sales except to the extent specifically modified by the IRC. The IRC was offered on a "take-or-pay" basis. Each DSI was required to purchase a minimum amount of Power ("Committed Demand" and "Committed Energy"), which was established before the contract became effective. BPA could not implement the IRC unless it determined that the total take-or-pay commitments by all DSI's allowed BPA to project greater total revenues than it would otherwise project if the contract were not offered. From October 1, 1985, until the termination of the IRC, Commonwealth's power consumption dropped below its committed ("take-or-pay") levels. Commonwealth claims that BPA breached the IRC by serving the DSI First Quartiles with Advance Energy from October 1, 1985, to December 24, 1985 (with the exception of 4 days in November). Commonwealth contends that BPA should have served the DSI First Quartiles with unsold Surplus FELCC, under subsection 8(e) of the 20-year Power Sales Contract. Commonwealth paid its full take-or-pay obligation under protest, and sued BPA to be released from 9 months of the take-or-pay obligation, together with the price of power that was not consumed and Commonwealth's attorneys' fees. The claim for damages consists of three parts: approximately $521,000 for the Oct.-Dec. 1985 period; $711,000 for the Jan.-Mar. 1986 period; and $763,000 for the April–June period. Status of the case Settlement is pending; the parties expect final settlement by the end of calendar year 1988. The Montana Power Company v. Bonneville Power Administration, No. 86-7330 (9th Cir. filed June 4, 1986). 269 ; Nature of the case. Petitioner challenged BPA's legal interpretation of Section 9(i)(3) of the Northwest Power Act. Status of the Case. BPA and Montana Power Co. have executed various transmission agreements in full settlement of the case. The Department of Justice is currently reviewing the settlement agreements for final filing with the court. C. Public Utility District No. 1 of Clark County v. Johnson, No. 82-7567 (9th Cir. filed October 1, 1982) l. Nature of the Case Clark County PUD No. 1 originally brought suit against Peter Johnson, BPA Administrator, on October 1, 1982. On February 23, 1983, the PUD filed an amended complaint alleging, inter alia, that (1) BPA violated the Northwest Power Act $ 6 by refusing to acquire a cogeneration resource that the PUD had jointly developed with Great Western Malting Co., (2) BPA breached an oral contract to acquire the cogeneration resource, and (3) BPA's decision not to acquire the resource was arbitrary and capricious under the Federal Administrative Procedure Act. The PUD seeks declaratory and injunctive relief requiring BPA to acquire the resource, or pay accrued money damages of $10 million and future damages approximating $5 million a year for the ensuing 10 years. Status of the Case In February 1986, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a motion by the PUD for an order appointing a special master to take testimony on the claims brought by the PUD. The Special Master issued his Report on November 6, 1986. The Master found for BPA on all issues that had been referred by the Ninth Circuit. Accordingly, Clark County filed objections to the Report. Thereafter, briefing and oral argument before a Ninth Circuit panel included all the issues presented to the Special Master, and the issue of the Court's jurisdiction to hear the PUD's contract and tort claims. Regarding jurisdiction, the Government's principal argument was that the Northwest Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 839, et Seq. , did not disturb the exclusive jurisdiction of the Claims Court for contract claims. No decision on the case has been issued by the Ninth Circuit. On August 30, 1988, the Ninth Circuit upheld BPA's administrative action in refusing to acquire the Great Western Malting Co. output and held that the Court lacked jurisdiction to rule on petitioner's contract claims. In determining that the Claims Court has exclusive jurisdiction over petitioner's contract claims, the Ninth Circuit allowed petitioner to move to transfer its claims to the Claims 970 ; Court. Petitioner has so moved, the claims have been transferred, and the Claims Court will hear petitioner's claims. D. California Energy Commission v. Bonneville Power Administration, No. 88-7280 (9th Circuit, filed July 21 ; Pacific Northwest Generating Company V. Bonneville Power Administration, No. 88–7315 (9th Circuit, fiſſed August T2, T988); Wanaſco Incorporated, et alſTV. BonneVHTTe Power Administration, No. 88-7318 (9th Circuit, filed August T2. T988); California Public Utilities Commission V. BonneVille Power ). Administration, No. 88–7319 (9th Circuit, filed August T5, 1. Nature of the Case. These four challenges have been filed against BPA's Long Term Intertie Access Policy issued on May 17, 1988. At this point, all of the issues to be raised by the petitioners have not been identified. However, some or all of the petitioners may challenge (1) the reasonableness of BPA's economic determinations underlying the policy, (2) the policy's legality with respect to providing priority intertie access for Pacific Northwest utilities, (3) its distinctions between scheduling and nonscheduling utilities, (4) the reasonableness of BPA's determinations concerning competitive impacts on the economy and (5) BPA's authority to impose conditions on non-Federal use of the intertie to protect its revenues and its ability to repay the Federal Treasury. No damages are requested. 2. Status of the Case The four cases have been consolidated by the court and all petitioners and intervenors are considered to be parties to all four cases. No further action has occurred. Natural Resources Defense Council v. Herrington, et al., No. 88-7322 (9th Circuit, filed August 15, [985). l. Nature of the Case. NRDC petitions to review BPA's action of entering into long-term transmission contracts with Montana Power Company and Tacoma City Light. 2. Status of the Case. Montana Power Company settled with NRDC on or about 0ctober 20, 1988; Montana Power will therefore soon be dismissed from the case. On November 23, Tacoma City Light Board of Directors approved settlement with NRDC. The NRDC then filed a motion to dismiss the case. Upon the court's approval, the case will be dismissed. - 3.71 g WOLUME 3 SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION 273 – 2 7 H # PROPOSED APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE Operations and Maintenance, Southeastern Power Administration For necessary expenses of operation and maintenance of power transmission facilities and of marketing electric power and energy pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), as applied to the southeastern power area, [$36,267,000] $42,369,000, to remain available until expended. 275 É DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION OWERVIEW SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION Under current statutory requirements, Southeastern Power Administration’s (SEPA) power marketing program is vital to the transmission and disposition of Federal hydroelectric power in the Southeast in a fair and orderly manner. The power produced at 22 hydroelectric projects located throughout the Southeast makes an important contribution to the peaking power requirements of the area. A large number of area systems depend upon SEPA power to carry load, provide reserves, and help meet emergency conditions. The program is structured to: e Encourage widespread use of available Federal power. e Make the power available at the lowest possible rates to consumers consistent with sound business principles. e Formulate power rates to recover all costs of producing and transmitting power including amortization of capital investment allocated to power over a 50-year period. e Give preference in the sale of power to public bodies and cooperatives. e Utilize existing area transmission facilities to accomplish transmission of power to customers. e Integrate projects to the maximum feasible extent and operate projects to provide maximum power contribution in meeting area power requirements. e Encourage development of additional hydroelectric power projects that are economically and environmentally feasible. SEPA markets hydroelectric power produced at Corps of Engineers' constructed projects in the States of West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky; and, in accordance with the Flood Control Act of 1944, gives preference in the sale of such power to public bodies and cooperatives. 276 à Southeastern does not own or operate any transmission facilities. In the absence of transmission facilities of its own, Southeastern carries out its marketing program by utilizing the existing transmission systems of the power utilities in the area. This is accomplished through "wheeling" arrangements between Southeastern and each of the area utilities with transmission lines connected to the projects under which the utility agrees to deliver. specified amounts of Federal power to customers of the Government, and Southeastern agrees to compensate the utility for the wheeling service performed. Southeastern's power marketing policies for its respective systems anticipate that all available power, both capacity and energy, will ultimately be sold to preference customers with no sales to the non-preference utilities who provide wheeling services. Southeastern is progressing as rapidly as possible to negotiate and execute contractual arrangements implementing the policies. In 1990, the administration proposes to study-potential asset divestiture of subsystems or individual projects under the condition that current preference power customers are protected and the sales price covers (at a minimum) unpaid debt. Also, beginning in 1990, the administration proposes to place power replacement practices on a more business-like basis through the application of straight-line amortization and current interest rates on the unpaid investment. The administration intends to submit legislation to authorize these initiatives in £he near future. The major program activities SEPA expects to perform in accomplishing its mission objectives include: e Pursue development of marketing plans, negotiation strategies, and negotiate contracts to integrate into the system new resources from pump units at the Richard B.

That the continuing fund established by the Act of October 12, 1949. c. 680. title L, section 101, as amended shall also be available on an ongoing basis for paying for purchased power and wheeling expenses when the Administrator determines that such expenditures are necessary to meet contractual obligations for the sale and delivery of power during periods of below normal hydropower generation. Replenishment of the fund shall occur within twelve months of the month in which the funds were first expended. EXPLANATION OF CHANGE The reception and representation fund enables Southwestern Power Administration to pay for ground breaking and cornerstone ceremonies; dedication and other recognition ceremonies; and hosting officials of state governments, congressional delegation, power system councils/organization, and other distingushed guests. Restructure the language on reimbursable authority to provide for long-term construction projects to be completed using non-Federal funds. This continuing fund allows Southwestern Power Administration to budget its purchase power and wheeling expenses based on average water conditions (reducing the need for new budget authority) yet still be able to meet contractual commitments for power delivery should below-average generation occur. All expenditures from the Continuing Fund would be replenished from power Y’evenue S. 293 # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION QWERVIEW SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION MISSION Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) markets hydroelectric power generated at Federal dams, at loyest possible rates consistent with sound business principles, giving preference in the sale to public bodies’ and cooperatives. SWPA schedules the operation of the Corps of Engineers' generating facilities for optimum resource utilization. SWPA designs, constructs, and operates its transmission facilities in a safe reliable manner, consistent with good utility practices. SWPA facilitates the development of environmentally clean renewable resources and energy conservation practices. In carrying out its mission, SWPA conducts business in an open manner with customers, employees, the Department of Energy, the Congress, and the general public. In 1990, the Administration proposes to study potential asset divestiture of subsystems or individual projects under the condition that current preference power customers are protected and the sales price covers (at a minimum) unpaid debt. Also, beginning in 1990, the Administration proposes to place power repayment practices on a more business-like basis through the application of straight-line amortization and current interest rates on the unpaid investment. The Administration intends to submit legislation to authorize these initiatives in the near future. FUNCTIONS 1. Markets and delivers all hydroelectricity to preference customers. 2. Manages its activities to ensure financial integrity, rate adequacy and equity, and cost effectiveness. 3. Constructs, upgrades, maintains, and operates its transmission system to assure the safe, reliable delivery of power to its customers. 4. Seeks to increase national economic benefits through regional power exchanges and through effective integration of regional thermal and renewable generation resources. 2.94 # 5. Facilitates development of economically feasible and environmentally acceptable Federal and non-Federal renewable hydro power resources. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Maintained to ensure a high degree of power transmission system reliability through continued performance of a sound equipment preventative maintenance program. This program included replacement of approximately 150 deteriorated transmission line structure wood poles, replacement of approximately 350 deteriorated transmission line structure wood cross arms, clearing of approximately 450 miles of transmission line right-of-way, performance of routine periodic facility inspections and equipment preventative maintenance at 23 substations and 48 radio microwave communications sites, establishment of a high voltage equipment non-destructive maintenance testing program using Doble Engineering test equipment, establishment of a substations and transmission line facilities inspection program using state-of-the-art infrared scanning equipment, and establishment of a protective relay and metering equipment calibration and testing program using computer controlled test equipment. Continued construction of the expanded and modernized Nixa, Missouri substation. Construction will be completed early in FY 1989. SWPA has developed methods of using non-Federal funds to accomplish needed transmission system repairs, modifications, or additions. This initiative reduces SWPA's need for new appropriations and, while allowing SWPA to encourage initiatives to enhance regional transmission system capacity, to facilitate development of non-Federally funded hydroelectric generating resources and to respond to emergency requests for assistance from customers. Such construction is developed under SWPA’s "one utility concept" which provides for planning and construction improvements on a joint basis with other area utilities as if we were all one utility, thus contributing to a more efficient overall system operation. Such work to be performed on SWPA’s equipment and premises is necessary to adjust to continually changing utility demands and must be managed by SWPA because of inherent reliability issues. Began construction of a new switching station to serve the city of Malden, Missouri. This facility will be completed the latter part of FY 1989. This project is partially funded by the city of Malden, Missouri. Began a program of replacement of 69-kW power circuit breakers at Southwestern Power Administration's (SWPA) Norfork and Springfield substations. Additional replacements at other SWPA substations will follow in FY 1989 and FY 1990. 295 É DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs Base Activity Actual Appropriation Base Request Dollar Percent Southwestern Power Administration Operations and Maintenance New Budget Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $13,132 $ 9,551 $ 9,551 $16,852 $47,301 +76% Use of Prior Year Balances. . . . . . . . . . . 0 5, 264 5, 264 464 -4,800 –91% Reimbursable Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 0 0 100 + 100 +100% Total Operations and - Maintenance Funding. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $13,132 $14,815 $14,315 $17, AT5 $12,601 +18% Purchase Power and Wheeling New Budget Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 0 $ O $ 0 $ 1,884 $+1,884 +100% Use of Prior Year Balances. . . . . . . . . . 11, 188 7,936 7,936 5, 136 –2,800 -35% Reimbursable Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4,625 6,841 6,841 7, 123 + 282 +4% Total Purchase Power/Wheeling Funding.. $15,813 $14,777 $14,777 $TA, TA3 5T534 - 4% Construction New Budget Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3,516 $ 5,838 $ 5,838 $ 6,436 $4: 598 +10% Use of Prior Year Balances. . . . . . . . . . 2,472 0 0 2,800 +2,800 +100% Reimbursable Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,721 1,000 1,000 4,500 +3,500 +3.50% Total Construction Funding. . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 7,709 $ 6,838 $ 6,335 $13,735 $36,895 +20.1% § Activity Southwestern Power Administration Totals New Budget Authority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Preface: Operations and Maintenance SWPA's operations and maintenance activity is designed to fulfill the statutory requirements of Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 in regard to marketing Federally generated hydroelectric power and recovering the Federal investment with interest. SWPA also strives to achieve the objectives of Mational Energy Policy in fostering an adequate supply of energy at a reasonable cost. Federal energy and transmission systems are important catalysts for supporting the economic health of SWPA s service area. SWPA's operations and maintenance activity is committed to providing reliable service and economical energy in a safe, cost-effective manner. This goal is achieved by maintaining continuity of service through a well maintained power transmission system and by being responsive to the energy needs of preference customers while developing power marketing policies and contracts. Program objectives are: (1) Improve efficiency of operations, enhance productivity, and increase system reliability, (2) Market power on a basis which maintains an acceptable level of repayment, and (3) Facilitate the development of Federal hydroelectric projects that are economically and environ- mentally feasible.

Preface: Purchase Power and Wheeling This activity provides for the funding of estimated amounts of energy purchases necessary to meet the Government's commitments under sales contracts with its utility customers. The hydro energy marketed by SWPA must be supplemented by energy purchases when low water conditions occur to assure a useuble and reliable power source. SWPA also has other contractual arrangements to deliver power and energy to customers not directly connected to its transmission system and to pay result ing transmission and wheeling expenses. The Purchase Power and Wheeling reimbursable activity will continue to provide contracted services for energy deliveries to SWPA customers, both military and municipal, served through the transmission facilities of Oklahoma investor-owned utilities. Such reimbursable activity using other Federal funds will eliminate the duplication of appropriation requests with SWPA's military customers, and reduce the appropriations for the pass through billings for the municipal customers by utilizing non-Federal funds. Program objectives are: (1) Maints in low energy commitments under power sales contracts, (2) Utilize extensive energy banking arrangements to minimize direct purchases of energy. (3) Obtain obligational retmbursable authority in two areas, military customers and Oklahoma municipal customers, to maintain lower purchase power and wheeling funding requests, and (4) Request authority to utilize the continuing fund to cover necessary purchase power and wheeling expenses when hydro generation is below normal.

To achieve the goal of maintaining and enhancing power transmission system safety and reliability, SWPA will continue its ongoing program of transmission system facilities replacement and modernization. SWPA's power transmission system is a mature system with much of tho equipment now being 35 to 40 years old. As system loads grow and the reliability requirements of SWPA's system increase, SWPA will continue to be respons (ve to increasing equipment replacement and modernization requirements. Emphasis will be placed upon replacement of critical items of equipment which have a high risk of failure or which require excessive maintenance due to age and deterioration. This program will reduce unplanned outages, lower maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency. For more effective use of generation and transmission resources and to facilitate economies of one utility operation, SWPA will continue to prepare long-range joint regional planning and feasibility studies focusing upon identifying beneficial joint participation or totally non-Federal funded construction projects. These studies will emphasize obtaining maximum benefits to the consumers of the region through taking advantage of existing SWPA facility sites and rights-of-way; through achieving economies of scale by developing one large project in lieu of two or more smaller projects; and through enhancement of revenues from the SWPA power transmission system. SVPA has developed methods of using non-Federal funds to accomplish needed transmission system repairs, modifications, or additions. This initiative reduces SWPA's need for new appropriations and, while allowing SWPA to encourage initiatives to enhance regional transmission system capacity, to promote development of non-Federally funded hydroelectric generating resources and to respond to emergency requests for assistance from customers. Such construction is developed under SWPA’s “one utility concept" which provides for planning and construction improvements on a joint basis with other area utilities as if we were all one utility, thus contributing to a more efficient overall system operation. Such work is necessary on SWPA's system equipment and premises to adjust to continually changing utility demands and must be managed by SWPA because of reliability issues. A.

The Court believes that a final determination of the Harris case will be beneficial in rendering a decision in the subject case. 314 ă WOLUME 3 WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION 315 – 3 b ; PROPOSED APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE Construction, Rehabilitation, Operation and Maintenance, Western Area Power Administration For carrying out the functions authorized by title III, section 302(a)(1)(E) of the Act of August 4, 1977 (Public Law 95-91), and other related activities including conservation and renewable resources programs as authorized, including official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500, the purchase [of passenger motor vehicles (not to exceed 5 for replacement only), $270,928,000], maintenance and operation of one helicopter for replacement only, $311,233,000, to remain available until expended, of which [$250, 142,000] $284,457,000, shall be derived from the Department of the Interior Reclamation fund; in addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to transfer from the Colorado River Dam Fund to the Western Area Power Administration [$2,485,000] $3,564,000, to carry out the power marketing and transmission activities of the Boulder Canyon project as provided in section 104(a)(4) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984, to remain available until expended: Provided, That, [concurrent with the enactment of Public Law 99-360, purchase, operation, and maintenance of l replacement helicopter is authorized from the Colorado River Basins Power Marketing Fund] 1/ the continuing fund established in Public Law 98-50 shall also be available on an ongoing basis for paying for purchase power and wheeling expenses when the Administrator determines that such expenditures are necessary to meet contractual obligations for the sale and delivery of power duri eriods of below-normal hydropower generation. Replenishment of the continuing fund shall occur within twelve months of the month in which the funds were first expended. 2/ EXPLANATION OF CHANGE 1/ Deletes language contained in Public Law 100-371 which is not required in appropriated acts for subsequent fiscal years. 2/ The new language provides explicit authority for the Administrator to use the continuing fund on an ongoing basis for purchase power and wheeling expenses during periods of below-normal hydropower generation. This allows Western to budget for its purchase power and wheeling expenses based on normal water conditions yet still be able to meet contractual commitments for power delivery should adverse water conditions occur. All expenditures from the Continuing fund would be replenished within 1 year from power revenues from the project for which funds were expended. 317 3 -a -- - - - - - DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW As a power marketing agency, Western's first priority is to market Federal energy and capacity at rates that (1) repay operation, maintenance, purchase power, and wheeling expenses; (2) ensure repayment of the Federal power investment with interest; and (3) assist in the repayment of irrigation investment that is beyond the repayment ability of the irrigators. Western seeks additional opportunities to market its resources in an efficient and effective manner consistent with its statutory authority, including coordinating with regional utilities in order to hold down costs to the consumer. Western will continue to develop power marketing plans that reflect strategic business planning and execution. Recently developed plans financially and contractually integrate multiple projects, allowing more power to be marketed than is currently available from separate operation and marketing of each resource. Consolidation of projects for ratemaking purposes promotes economy by saving the time and expense associated with individual project rate adjustments. Consolidation of contractual arrangements also allows for more efficient delivery of power. Western enters into necessary power marketing contracts that aid in the accomplishment of defined programs and goals. These contracts not only reflect firm power sales pursuant to marketing plans, but extend to transmission service, interconnections, operation, maintenance, emergency services, and shorter term sales. Recent contract initiatives include joint participation arrangements with regional utilities for construction of mutually advantageous facilities. Non-Federal financing of authorized generation facilities has also been the subject of contracts entered into by Western, with a goal of reducing the need for Federal appropriations. In 1990, the administration proposes to study potential asset divestiture of subsystems or individual projects under the condition that current preference power customers are protected and the sales price covers (at a minimum) unpaid debt. Also, beginning in 1990, the administration proposes to place power repayment practices on a more business-like basis through the application of straight-line amortization and current interest rates on the unpaid investment. The administration intends to submit legislation to authorize these initiatives in the near future. - Western's program is divided into three activities: (1) Construction and Rehabilitation, (2) Operation and Maintenance, and (3) Purchase Power and Wheeling. In FY 1990, Western proposes that the continuing fund established by Public Law 99-141 (99 Stat. 575) shall also be available on an ongoing basis for defraying purchase power and wheeling expenses when the Administrator determines that such expenditures are necessary to meet contractual obligations for the sale and delivery of power during periods of below-normal hydropower generation. 3.18 § CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION Existing surplus Federal power generation represents a significant economic resource, but severe transmission limitations within Western's marketing area adversely affect the ability to capitalize on this surplus power. Western conducts a transmission system construction and rehabilitation program in order to market this power in accordance with Western's strategic long-range objectives. Economic purchases of capacity or energy during drought conditions or emergencies are made possible by Western's construction activity. Construction activity also benefits power exchanges among projects and regions with complementary needs. Upgrades and rehabilitation of existing facilities are pursued in order to increase system reliability, reduce outages, lower maintenance costs, help reduce transmission losses, and improve overall system operating efficiency. As part of a large interconnected utility system, Western must be prepared to make system changes required by changing conditions and new reliability requirements. Because of its large interconnected transmission system, Western is often a leader in coordinating planning among affected parties to identify the most effective transmission system additions. Western will continue to be an important partner in the development of innovative initiatives for the construction of needed facilities. In response to the need for Federal budget restraint, Western will work with other utilities to formulate joint plans for needed construction projects in a manner which will reduce or eliminate the need for Federal appropriations. It has been necessary to curtail firm and/or surplus power deliveries due to electric energy flowing on transmission facilities other than those on which it was scheduled to flow. There continue to be occasions when nearly all the capacity of a line has been consumed with inadvertent flows. These inadvertent flows reduce the effective capacity of transmission lines and inhibit the maximum use of available transmission. Western is participating with others in addressing the inadvertent flow problem and identifying alternatives to optimize the use of available generation to meet our power delivery obligations. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Western's transmission system is a vital element of the Nation's electricity grid, therefore it must be operated and maintained at established industry standards while accommodating system changes and increased demand. Western's goal is to maintain the system in a condition at least equal to current standards. Older facilities will be replaced on a schedule that is coordinated with the utilities that depend on Western for their bulk supply. The cost of Western's work is often shared with other Federal entities under reimbursable agreements and with non-Federal participants under the Contributed Funds Act. System reliability requires an effective operation and maintenance program, including inspection and maintenance of transmission lines, substations, other system facilities and equipment. Ongoing power system studies of current and projected operational demands identify deficiencies in the interconnected transmission system. 319 ; Western also plans for systematic replacement and upgrades of equipment. These activities will ensure system reliability and integrity in meeting load requirements using the latest state-of-the-art equipment and tech- nology. Western conducts a conservation and renewable energy program that focuses on wise and efficient use of energy resources. PURCHASE POWER AND WHEELING Western purchases power to supplement Federal hydropower supplies in order to maximize the value and assure the availability of Federal power resources, primarily for the Central Walley Project in California. Both energy and capacity are purchased. In addition, wheeling services are purchased whenever a third party's transmission lines are needed to deliver Federal power to Western's customers. In order to minimize the need for Federal appropriations, alternative financing arrangements, such as net billing, bill crediting, and reimbursable authority, are used to fund a large portion of the purchase power and wheeling program activity. Receipts deposited in the Treasury are reduced by the amount of alternative financing utilized. 320 ; DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE CONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Program Change FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs Base Activity FY 1988 Estimate Base Request DoTiar TPercent Construction and Rehabilitation............. $ 85,000 $ 94,252 $ 94,636 $ 93,517 $- 1,119 - 1% 1 Operation and Maintenance */................ 93,000 90,461 91,995 101,057 + 9,062 +10% (Permanent Budget Authority) .............

The Fryingpan-Arkansas Project sells peaking capacity generated at Mt. Elbert pumped-storage powerplant to repay the investment of the project. The estimated power revenues are for sales of peaking capacity, and not gigawatthours of energy sales. For the Intertie project, there is no associated generation, thus no sales of gigawatthours of electric service are projected. The Intertie is for transmission of electricity only, and power revenues are from the transmission of energy produced by others. - 3/ Energy sales decline primarily due to the Colorado River Basin Project shift of energy to project-use pumping from previous sales to Western's customers.

Western Area Power Administration, et al. The Utah Power and Light Company (UP&L) and over 140 of its full-service customers filed a massive Tawsuit against Western on October 31, 1986. The lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of the preference provisions of the reclamation law, as well as a number of Western's program activities. The United States moved for summary judgment on all grounds. On April 14, 1988, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Greene issued an 86-page opinion upholding the constitution- ality of the preference provisions and Western's authority to carry out its power marketing and related programs. The judge did not grant the United States' motion for summary judgment on UP&Ls environmental claim. Instead, he ruled that the parties should proceed to trial on the reasonableness of Western's decision to prepare an Environmental Assessment, as opposed to an Environmental Impact Statement, on Western's power marketing criteria. Trial was scheduled to begin on November 29, 1988, but was postponed at the request of the parties. UP&L has appealed the April 14 decision to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. The National Wildlife Federation filed a separate complaint involving the environmental and purchase power issues in the case on December 20, 1988. Western Area Power Administration v. Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Northern California Power Agency, et àITOTAPFT23, T355, the Department OF JUSETCETFTed SUTETU.S. DTSEPTCETCOUFETSan Francisco against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), and six member cities of NCPA. The lawsuit arises out of a sale of energy and related transactions by Western. Western argues that it sold the energy to NCPA, while PG&E contends that it purchased the energy from Western. Western also seeks payment of capacity it sold PG&E during the same period. Subsequent crossclaims and counterclaims have been filed by the parties. Motions for summary judgment are due in February 1989, with oral argument, if necessary, scheduled for May 1989 before Judge Schwarzer. City of Santa Clara v. Herrington. The City of Palo Alto, California, and several other Western customers brought SUTE in U.S. District Court in San Francisco in 1985, challenging Western's interpretation of one of the terms of the 1980 Santa Clara settlement. Discovery is presently underway, and no trial date has been set. American Line Builders v. United States. In May 1987, American Line Builders filed suit against Western in U.S. Claims COUFETThe DTaintiff seeks $1.7 million in additional compensation for alleged Government-ordered changes in construction of the Fort Peck-Havre transmission line. Pretrial activities have been completed, and trial is scheduled to begin in April 1989. 366 § Williams v. United States. The plaintiff sought $6 million in damages for alleged violation of his rights as a WTetnam-era veteran. TThe U.S. District Court in Denver granted the United States' motion to dismiss, without prejudice, in November 1987, and the Tenth Circuit affirmed the decision in October 1988. Mariscott-Douglas v. United States. Mariscott-Douglas (formerly A.H. Environment, Inc.) filed suit against Western Tn the U.S.TCTaſms Court ſn February 1988. The main issue in the case involved A. H. Environment's alleged failure to provide Western with a certificate of destruction of hazardous waste. Mariscott-Douglas took issue with Western's decision that it owed Western an additional $80,000 for reprocurement costs. The Court ruled in Western's favor, and is determining the amount of damages due Western. Williams v. United States. The plaintiff sought attorney fees arising out of an administrative settlement in this complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Billings, Montana. The United States has filed a motion for summary judgement, and we are awaiting a decision. McAlister v. United States. Plaintiffs have reduced their claim from $13 million to $6 million in this tort cTaſm Tawsuit fîTed against Western in Tampa, Florida. The claim arises out of an accident involving a Western employee driving a Government vehicle in Logan County, Colorado. Pre-trial activities are still underway. 367 § Central Valley Power System Cumulative Estimated Prior Total Years obs obs Operating Expenses (DOE): Design and Construction $120,681 $ 25,733 Total DOE obs/B0 Non-DOE obs/B0 Design and Construction Total Obligations/Outlays Method of Financing: Appropriations Available and Required Application of Planned Prior Year Funds Non-Federal Advances and Federal Reimbursements FY 1989 FY 1990 Estimate Estimate obs BO obs BO $ 9,720 $ 6,200 $ 3,990 $ 2,100 $ 9,720 $ 6,200 $ 3,990 $ 2,100 $ 3,463 $ 3,463 $ 1,740 $ 1,740 $ 13,183 $ 9,663 $ 5,130 $ 3,840 : 9,720 $ 3,990 $ 3,363 $ 1,740 368 Remaining Balance obs $ 81.238 $ 81,238 $ 1,217 $ 82,453 $ 81,238 $ $ 1,217 § DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET – 2 Central Valley Power System (continued) Description, Objective, and Justification The Central Valley Power System consists of over 1,300 circuit miles of 69- to 500-kW transmission lines which interconnect 10 powerplants, 1 pumping plant, and 12 major substations in northern and central California.

In conjunction with Bonneville Power Administration's portion of the Intertie, these facilities would permit the sale of power from the Northwest to California, Arizona, and Nevada, together with the seasonal exchange of capacity between the Pacific Southwest and the Pacific Northwest. The plan is designed to integrate the Federal hydroelectric projects in the Northwest, in northern California, and in the Colorado River area. The investment in construction facilities would be repaid with interest within 50 years from the time the lines become revenue producing from revenues received through use of the Intertie facilities. Funds to initiate construction of Intertie facilities were originally appropriated in FY 1965. The 800-kV DC line from Oregon to California and the 500-kV AC lines and the first 345-kV AC line from southern Nevada to the Phoenix area were completed and in operation by 1970. Public Law 88–552 also authorized a 750-kV DC line from Dalles, Oregon, to Hoover Dam in southern Nevada connecting to Los Angeles by a 750-kV DC line, and a second 345-kV AC line connecting the Hoover terminal to the Phoenix, Arizona area. Statements were presented to Congress in budget proceedings in 1977 and subsequently which disclosed technical revisions to the Intertie project to meet changing technological, environmental, and economic (load and resource) conditions. It was then proposed to increase the voltage to +500-kV DC and to con- struct the line from Dalles, Oregon to Mead Substation near Hoover Dam in Nevada and from Mead Substation to Phoenix, Arizona area. Funds were appropriated to support the continued development of the project. With present generation and load patterns, the existing transmission system does not have the capacity needed to meet Western's Boulder City Area customers' requests for transmission service. Western will work with non-Federal power utility interests to develop and build an approximately 243-mile line from Mead Substation to the Phoenix, Arizona area. This is referred to as Phase I of the continuing project. Study activities for Phase II, the Mead-Adelanto DC Intertie, are being expedited in order to merge schedules with Phase I. The Mead-Adelanto line will connect southern Nevada with southern California. # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET – 3 Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie (continued) Description, Objective, and Justification Reevaluation of Phase III of the Intertie (from the Pacific Northwest to southern Nevada) is presently being evaluated in order to take advantage of the substantial surplus energy available from the Federal hydro system in the Pacific Northwest and to allow a diversity exchange arrangement between the two regions. Southern and central California interests, Salt River Project (SRP), and Western have negotiated contrac- tual arrangements whereby the construction of Phase I (Mead to Phoenix) of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie can go forward with an in-service date of 1996. SRP, located in Phoenix, Arizona, will develop and construct the Mead–Phoenix DC line, and SRP and Western will operate the line when it goes into service. The southern California interests, who have consolidated their efforts under an umbrella corporate body (Southern California Public Power Authority) and MSR Public Power Agency, will finance the cost of building the project to the initial 1,600 megawatt level. Western will own the right-of-way for the Mead to Phoenix alignment and will secure rights to approximately 20 percent of the initial 1,600 megawatt pro- ject capability for use by Western. Western has assisted in the development of Phase I by performing the environmental clearance and other activities. The Phase I project participants have also signed agreements to proceed with all necessary planning work on Phase II, the Mead-Adelanto portion of the Intertie project. The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is the project manager for the preconstruction stage of project work. The project is expected to be rated at 2,000 MW and will connect to the Mead–Phoenix Project at Western's Mead Substation, thus forming a three terminal DC network. Western has executed negotiated agreements with Pacific Northwest and Southwest utility interests that provide for additional planning and technical studies on Phase III, a line from Western's Mead Substation and an as yet undefined location in the Northwest. The joint participation project will be funded largely by non-Federal utilities with Western expected to own rights to about 15 percent of the line capacity. 381 ; DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET – 4 Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie (continued) Description, Objective, and Justification The project is expected to commit to construction in 1991/1992 with an estimated in-service date of 1997. Western is continuing to facilitate the completion of the authorized Intertie facilities as directed by the Congress in the 1984 appropriations bill. a. Benefits: Long-term benefits are outlined below: 1. 3 9654 Gºeee 10. Exchanges of summer-winter surplus peaking capacity between the Northwest and Southwest to reduce capital expenditures for new generating capacity. Sale of surplus Northwest and Canadian secondary energy to Southwest utilities. Sale of Southwest energy to the Northwest to firm up peaking hydro sources during critical water shortage years in the Northwest. Use of Northwest energy to provide firming energy for Southwest hydro systems. Energy related benefits associated with exchange of seasonal peaking capacity. Additional system support provided to both the Northwest and Southwest systems. Utilization of daily diversity between the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest during portions of the season. Additional transmission capacity from Arizona to California to allow California entities to obtain coal and nuclear energy to replace oil-fired energy. 382 ; DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET - 5 Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie (continued) A. Planned Activities Activity Construction FY 1990 - Start Stop Estimate California–Oregon Transmission Project Continuing tº gº - Public Law 98-360 authorized the Secretary of Energy to construct or participate in the construction of a third 500-kV AC line between the Pacific Northwest and California. In FY 1990, Western will continue partici- pating in activities of this project which has become known as the California–Oregon Transmission Project. The project will provide a cost-effective means of increasing intertie reliability and will allow a greater transfer of low-cost surplus generation from the Northwest to dis- place more expensive nonrenewable energy in California. A key segment is upgrading Western's Shasta-Tracy 230-kV Transmission Line to 500 kW. Western will also construct Olinda Substation near Redding, California; Tracy Sub- station near Tracy, California; and the Maxwell series capacitor station, midway between Tracy and Redding. These facilities are necessary to accommodate the increased capacity of the upgraded intertie system. The project is being financed primarily by non-Federal participants through the Transmission Agency of Northern California. - # OEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET - 6 Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie (continued) A.

Planned Activities Activity Construction FY 1990 Start Stop Estimate Limestone-Gering-Bayard-McGrew 34.5/69-kW Transmission Line (continued) In addition to replacing the existing line, Western proposes to extend the line from Bayard Tap to McGrew Substation in Nebraska. This extension will tie the 34.5-kW system into the 115-kW Gering-Bridgeport Line at McGrew Substation, and will provide a loop feed for the City of Bayard and for the rural loads. At McGrew Substation, a larger transformer will be installed to support this loop feed. Joint studies have identified an urgent need for rebuilding this existing line. The existing line was built in 1934 and is now subjected to loading conditions near the design limits of the system. The line structures have reached the end of their useful service life due to age and deteriorated conditions. Replacements of this line will reduce the number of outages to customers served by this line, will accommodate the expected electrical load growth in the area, and will improve safety to maintenance crews and members of the public. The new line will prevent overloads and resulting customer service interruptions when area loads rise above the 16 MWA capacity of the existing conductor. With the larger conductor, power losses will be reduced, additional revenues can be collected for wheeling auxiliary energy, and numerous lightning outages will be reduced because of the new overhead ground wire. 390 f DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION POWER SYSTEM DATA SHEET – 6 Pick–Sloan Missouri Basin Power System (continued) A.

Stop Estimate Substations Watertown Substation Static War Compensator Addition 4th Qtr. 1990 4th Qtr. 1992 $ 7,415,000 - The Watertown Substation, which serves the eastern South Dakota area, is an important point of interconnection on the Billings Area Office (Montana) transmission system. It presently provides terminal facilities for four 230-kV lines, three 115-kW lines, and two 230/115-kW autotrans- formers. Power system simulation studies indicate a need for reactive improvements to the area. Under system light load conditions, the existing transmission system is subject to high voltages on much of the area's transmission system. System studies also indicate that the electrical loads in the area may be subject to low voltage conditions for transmission line outages and poor voltage regulation under varying load conditions.

This function is performed pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978. In addition, this Board, by delegation of authority from the Secretary, acts specifically as: The Contract Adjustment Board on applications for extraordinary contractual relief under Public Law 85-80A; the InVention Licensing Appeals Board on appeals involving the patent rights of the Department; the FinancialſTAssistance Appeals Board on disputes involving grants, cooperative agreements, loan guarantees and other financial assistance arrangements; and, the Patent Compensation Board pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. The Board may also act to resolve other quasi-judicial matters as assigned by the Secretary. The purpose of the Board may be categorized as follows: o Serving the needs of the Department for a good and effective working relationship between the Department and its contractors, grantees, licensees, etc., by providing an impartial forum for inexpensive and speedy resolution of disputes. o In a quasi-judicial manner, providing a means for coordinating those actions taken by its officials which result in factual or legal disputes -- before a dispute is appealed to a court of law. o Conserving both Department resources and other public and private resources by reducing the need for litigation before the Federal Courts. o Assisting in maintaining the credibility of the Department through a Board chartered to provide impartial, fair resolution of disputes. ă DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Board of Contract Appeals Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs. Base - Actual Estimate Base Request DOTſar TPEFCent Board of Contract Appeals: Full-time permanent ...... $ 302 $ 354 $ 327 $ 327 $ --- sº º sº sº Other compensation . . . . . . . 29 29 28 28 tº gº gº sº tº sº sº Benefits . . . . . . . . . . tº ſº gº º ſº e ºs - 36 57 40 40 tº sº wº gº tº sº gº Travel . . . . . tº e tº e º ſº gº tº e º 'º º ge e *- : *-* º 4 4 4 sº º sº. tº sº º se Services . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . l 1 1 1 tº-º ºr e º 'º tº º sº ºne Subtotal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 368 $ 445 $ 400 $ 400 $ --- sº sº º sº Use of Unobligated Balances . . . . . . . . . . tº gº º º ſº +68 -9 gº º tº * * * * * tº-º º sº tº tº ſº º sº; Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 435 5TH35 5-400 $ 400 dº sº tº sº sº gº ºg Staffing, Total FTE's .... 7 8 8 8 416 ; DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW Office of General Counsel The Office of General Counsel is responsible for providing comprehensive legal services to the Secretary and the Department. Those services include legal counsel with respect to every program and function established by the Department, with the exception of those relating to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; legal review of virtually all significant Departmental proposed actions; and, the defense of those matters through both judicial and administrative litigation in both federal and state courts, at the trial and appellate level. Because of the diversity and magnitude of the Department's activities a single office within General Counsel may be responsible for providing legal services with respect to as many as 50 different statutes, and the legal expertise required may encompass the entire range of the law, from issues of Constitutional proportions to Personnel law matters affecting individual employees. Besides providing legal services covering almost the entire spectrum of the law, the General Counsel also is responsible for conducting several programs of Department-wide application. The Patent Program manages and protects the Department's wealth of intellectual property, whether it be in the form of a patent, trademark or copyright, that is engendered by virtue of the billions invested in the Department's research and development activities. The Standards of Conduct program implements the statutory requirements of the Department's organic Act and other statutes establishing the ethical standards with which each present and former employee of the Department must comply on an annual basis. In addition to these formal programs, the Office of General Counsel also is responsible for coordinating the review and clearance among the Department's many offices of Congressional testimony and associated responses to questions, speeches, and legislation. The General Counsel is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the Administration's Regulatory Reform program established by Executive order 12291 and Executive order 12498 that governs every regulatory initiative of the Department from its inception to its final promulgation. 4.17 # The Office of General Counsel assists other Departmental elements by providing legal support to their programs. For instance, we are intricately involved in the drafting and reviewing of all proposed legislation for Congressional action. The General Counsel Office provides essential legal support to the Department concerning new Executive initiatives such as the development of the Superconductor Supercollider. This also includes continued interest in defederalizing the Southeastern Power Marketing Administration, the Alaska Marketing Administration and the Naval Petroleum Reserve. Proceeds from such successful. sales will assist in the lowering of our nation's budget deficit. As the Department devotes greater resources to both environmental and security needs, the General Counsel Office is anticipated to allocate increased resources to provide the necessary legal support to effectuate our Departmental goals. The General Counsel Office anticipates that legal work associated with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) will continue its steady pace. The General Counsel Office projects at least 4.0 FTE usage in both FY 1989 and FY 1990, respectively. We anticipate increased NWPA related activity in licensing and site characterization in furthering Departmental goals. These NWPA costs must be billed by law to the Nuclear Waste Fund. 4.18 ă DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Office of General Counsel Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs. Base General Administration Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Program Direction Support Funding $ 1,366 $ 1, 467 $ 1, 467 $ 1,507 $ 40 + 3% Personnel Expenses 9, 429 9, 631 9, 631 9, 211 — 420 - 4% Total Operating Expenses $10,795 $11,098 $11,098 $10,718 $ -380 - 3% Use of Unobligated Balances +5 – 224 - - - - - - - - $10,800 $10,874 $11,098 $10,718 $ – 380 – 3% Staffing Level 163 l/ 163 1/ 163 1/ Authorization: DOE Act, Pub.

This will provide for 11 full-time equivalent staff to further fulfill the statutory goals of the Office. In order to accomplish the goals and objectives of MI, the following program activities are included at the Departmental request: 1. Public Law 95-619 mandates an on-going Research Program to determine the effects of national energy programs, policies, and regulations on minorities and Ton minority communities. In FY 1990, the Data Development and Minority Energy Assessment Model task will incorporate the most recent survey data provided by the Energy Information Administration from their Residential Energy Consumption Survey data tapes and files, in addition to other relevant socioeconomic information from other national surveys such as the Annual Housing Survey and the Census tapes. This will facilitate realistic quantitative assessments of the impact of energy policies and regulations on minorities. The component minority economic model, residential energy model, and transportation energy model of the Minority Energy Assessment Model (MEAM) will have to be periodically updated and their technical development enhanced for MI to facilitate relevant energy policy impact assessments. The specifics of the MEAM-PC system will be integrated with existing statistical/econometric software package(s) currently compatible with PC systems so that this unique analytical medium will become accessible to other energy policy researchers, utility companies, and public service commissions as evaluation tools to assist in evaluations of rate cases, least cost utility planning activities, and some equity considerations. The Policy Assessments and Analyses task will structure significant comparative data, impact analyses, and other information on minorities in a focused manner; so that DOE's policy office and individual program offices can utilize the information for program and policy impact assessments and legislative and regulatory actions such as rulemaking proceedings. The decisionmaking process and policy formulation within DOE will be enhanced by the inclusion of additional regional impacts. This effort could facilitate DOE's involvement with some of the proposed rulemaking proceedings of FERC relating to the costs of electricity or bidding mechanisms to determine prices for electricity; in addition to transportation policy relating to the States' regulation of gasoline prices and emission standards. The Technical Market Analysis will provide limited information on linkages between energy technologies and minority business enterprises and employment opportunities, by developing appropriate technical information on specific energy technology markets, demand and supply projections, and relevant technical strategies to link minority educational institutions with minority business developmental efforts. The Management and Technical Assistance programs include the Minority Honors Training Program which will continue to increase the number of financially needy minority honor students obtaining training in 449 ; energy-related technologies. These two-year post secondary educational institutions will enhance energy industrial linkages for specialized training, cooperative training, summer jobs, full-time employment, and equipment donations. A model of approaches to linkages for these educational and industrial assistance efforts will be structured to provide focused guidance to minority educational institutions. The Minority Educational Institution Assistance Program consists of a number of interrelated activities that together form a coherent solution to the problem of inadequate research participation at most minority educational institutions. The program includes developmental and technical assistance for three to five years, with some cost sharing arrangements with minority educational institutions and/or the private sector. The Minority # Information Clearinghouse provides a centralized repository and dissemination point for energy-related research data and information about various energy programs and the impact of those programs on minorities. The Clearinghouse maintains a bibliographic data base on the impact of energy on minority populations in the United States and its territories; including energy policy, price, and energy technology information. The Clearinghouse will also be utilized to develop data bases and other information relating to MI's educational programs and economic and business development programs. Clearinghouse services include: research, referrals, selective dissemination of information, information transfer, and searches on information retrieval systems. The Minority Economic and Business Development Program is structured to provide focused technical assistance to minority business enterprises (MBE), to enhance their opportunities to participate fully in the energy programs of DOE. Assistance and information to the DOE operations and field offices, in their efforts to increase the participation of MBEs in DOE field-sponsored activities, will also be provided. Major barriers to effective competition and participation of MBEs in energy industry activities will be established and solutions for implementation of energy programs by the Federal, State, and local governments and the private sectors will be recommended. Other sources of funding and technical assistance will be leveraged to extend the base of the program. The Financial Assistance programs include the Bank Deposit Financial Assistance Program which will continue with its purchase of short-term deposits in minority-owned financial institutions. Under DOE's minority Bank Deposit Financial Assistance program, non-appropriated funds obtained through consent decrees with major energy companies are deposited in short-term Certificates of Deposit in minority financial institutions which use the funds to strengthen their financial condition and enhance their ability to make loans and investments in minority communities. A total of 113 minority financial institutions currently participate in this program. The Business Loan Program administration will be restructured to enhance and broaden the scope of the program to more effectively address the intent of the legislation to assist minority business enterprises to increase the levels of their participation in DOE's procurement actions. Approval will be sought to implement new strategies designed to enhance and market the program, in coordination with the programs and services of other agencies and various energy industry organizations. Staffing and Operating Expenses. Funding will cover operating expenses for 11 full-time equivalent staff positions, which are needed to support this office which has diverse program areas requiring varying kinds of professional and technical expertise. 450 t 3. # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) LEAD TABLE Office of Minority Economic Impact Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs. Base Actual Estimate Base Request # percent RESEARCH Data Development and Minority 336 336 336 352 + 16 + 5 Energy Assessment Model Policy Assessments and Analyses 309 309 309 363 + 54 + 17 Technical Market Analyses Information 124 124 124 65 - 59 – 48 Subtotal 75g 75g 75g 750 F-II ++ MANAGEMENT & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Minority Honors Training Program 364 402 402 417 + 15 + 4 Minority Educational Institution Assistance 1,548 1,683 1,683 1,280 – 403 – 24 Minority Energy Information Clearinghouse 16 133 133 47 - 86 – 65 Minority Business & Community Development 50 513 513 217 - 296 – 58 Subtotal Tºg/5 2,731 2,731 T.JET - 70 —25 451 # FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Bank Deposit Financial Assistance Program 0 () 0 0 * = - º (Administration) Business Loan Program (Admin. & Capital) 0 0 0 0 - G as sº Subtotal O O TO —u— —= — PROGRAM DIRECTION Operating Expenses 536 600 600 602 + 2 0 Total Obligational Authority 3,283 4,100 4,100 3,343 - 757 - 18 Use of Unobligated Balances + 564 - 13 () O O Staffing: FTE Totals 10 11 11 11 Authorization: Section 614, P.L. 95-619 # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION (dollars in thousands) SUMMARY OF CHANGES Office of Minority Economic Impact FY 1990 Ba Se Research o Maintain the Minority Energy Assessment Model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . o Maintain the number and scope of policy assessments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Program Activity FY 1988 Policy Assessments The quantitative tools and Analyses were structured to develop special studies On impacts of alterna- tive economic growth, and higher energy (such as crude oil prices and specific energy con- servation strategies) in the residential Sector was formulated. Regional and national analyses were incorporated with the Energy Security Report Scenarios and analysis for comparative economic assessments on minority households. ($309) FY 1989 The inherent bias against minorities in the formula used to allocate weath- erization funds to the States will be reviewed. Distribution Schemes of energy supplies (e.g., nuclear waste and SPR), including the distribution of Costs and benefits and the specific impacts of various scenarios, the criteria used to dis- tribute the reserves, the selling price, ——and the impact of such policies on minority workers, will be assessed to provide the policy office with regional impacts indicators. In addition, a rational set of energy policy options relating to FERC rule- making proceedings and/or mechanisms to determine different energy fuel prices will be developed for Departmental consideration. ($309) 457 FY 1990 The effects of life-line rates of the utility industry on the energy consumption and expend- iture patterns of minorities will be - thoroughly evaluated, since they appear to be counter pro- ductive and have been providing high income households with an unwarranted subsidy. This will enable DOE to assist State public utilities Commissions in assessing the impact of these rate structures on different population categories and revise the rates to establish more equity among rate determinations for various sectors. ($363) # (3) Market Analysis and Projections develops generic information on specific energy technology markets to reflect economic and financial requirements, demand and supply projections, and relevant strategies to assist minority energy firms to penetrate the market segments.

The Office is responsibile for analyzing DOE policies and programs to ensure their consistency with national energy policy. The Office maintains a capability for: (a) analyzing and evaluating energy market conditions, (b) strategic policy planning, (c) developing consistent and clearly articulated policy options, (d) developing long-term energy supply/demand balance projections, and (e) coordinating energy-related policy analysis conducted within the Department of Energy and elsewhere within the Executive Branch, to ensure consistency between energy goals and policy. PE provides economic and policy analysis support to DOE program assistant secretaries, and carries out research, studies, analyses and assessments mandated by Congress or the President. The structural framework within which PE operates derives from the Department's enabling legislation (Atomic Energy Act, Non-Nuclear R&D Act, DOE Organization Act) and from the Administration's National Energy Policy Plan (NEPP). The major goals of PE are: early and accurate identification of major energy policy issues that need to be addressed through long-term studies and analyses; continued development, analyses and evaluation of specific policies and programs, both in response to Congressional and Presidential mandates, and in fulfillment of Secretarial and Departmental responsibilities; program research and long-term studies of the nature, causes and potential for solution of the Nation's energy problems; and, analysis of the costs and benefits of programs designed to improve the Nation's energy situation. The Nation's energy security is a principal concern of national energy policy development. The objective is to ensure adequate energy supplies during critical periods into the mid-1990’s and to undertake necessary basic research and technology development to ensure security over the longer-term. To this end, PE monitors a wide range of indicators such as oil import levels, OPEC and Persian Gulf producers' market shares, expanding demands placed on world energy supplies by developing countries, hydrocarbon exploration, development and production activities in the U.S. and abroad, volatility of energy markets and resulting impacts on U.S. energy security, the emergence of alternative fuels, and conservation trends. In addition, PE assesses specific issues, such aS natural gas markets, fuel-flexible transportation systems, the impact of energy prices on efficiency investments and transportation fuel economy options that enhance the long-term energy security of the U.S 469 ; The FY 1990 budget request for PE is $6,229,000. This budget request assures a continuation of PE's ability to perform specific functions in areas critical to the continued implementation of the Administration’s energy policy and fulfillment of Congressional mandates, and PE's ability to provide acceptable levels of policy analysis and evaluation support to the Congress, the President, the Secretary, the Deputy Secretary, and program Assistant Secretaries. Policy Studies The FY 1990 budget request for policy studies is $2,600,000. This request will finance short- and long-term studies and analyses of a discrete set of major policy issues. Results from these studies are essential building blocks for the development of energy policy. A broad range of short- and long-term studies and analyses will be conducted in FY 1990. These studies will provide objective, independent data and analyses relating to current energy issues, strategic energy planning, consistency and integration of energy policies. The short-term analytical requirements mandated by the Congress, the President and the Secretary will continue to receive the highest priority in the allocation of PE’s resources. In addition to short- and long-term studies, efforts will be directed toward the continuous monitoring, analyzing and forecasting of the Nation’s energy markets, and the effects of economic policy change and technology on these markets. Analytical tasks to be undertaken or continued in FY 1990 include: international oil trends, natural gas reliability, fuel efficiency costs/benefits to the year 2000, analysis of alternative fuels policy options, economic analysis of conservation options, the competitiveness of the U.S. oil/gas tax and royalty system, energy supply and demand balances; energy technology forecasting, analysis and review of energy security policy, integrated long-range energy policy planning, Congressionally mandated reports and studies; and support of Secretarial policy initiatives. Program Direction The FY 1990 request for program direction is $3,629,000. This funding request provides salaries, benefits, training, and travel expenses for 55 FTE’s. This budget request is commensurate with PE's responsibilities under its Mission Statement. It provides staffing resources to perform PE's specific functions in areas critical to the continued research and development of national energy policy, and fulfillment of Congressional mandates; and to provide acceptable levels of policy analysis, evaluation and energy policy planning support to the Congress, the President, Secretary, Deputy Secretary and program Assistant Secretaries. 470 ; DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST Departmental Administration (Dollars in Thousands) LEAD TABLE Office of Policy, Planning and Analysis Program Change FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1990 Request vs Base Activity Actual Estimate Base Request Dollar Percent Policy Studies $2,486 $2,600 $2,600 $2,600 ++ — Program Direction 2,883 3,705 3,629 g 3,629 —— —— Subtotal $5,369 $6,305 $6,229 $6,229 &E -º - - Use of Unobligated Balance + 625 - 84 — — —— —— Budget Authority $5,994 $6,221 $6,229 $6,229 *-* - - - Staffing Level 52 55 55 55 471 # DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FY 1990 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST.

Preface: International Energy Organizations and Policy Development The International Energy Organizations and Policy Development program manages and coordinates the international aspects of DOE/U.S. participation in º security programs. Specifically, this program develops, coordinates and implements policies 1) related to U.S. participation in the IEA, the U.S. Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), (2) in relation to the European Community (EC) and (3) regarding bilateral dealings with other energy importing countries. The objective of this activity is to develop strategies for successfully influencing the policies and programs of these organizations and countries in ways that are compatible with U.S. international energy security policy, namely, toward primary reliance on market forces, balanced and mixed energy resources, diversified supply sources, and greater strategic oil and gas stock buildup and coordination of plans among IEA members for early stock drawdown in the event of a major supply disruption. The realization of this objective requires that energy developments in these organizations and countries are continually monitored and analyzed for their effect on U.S. and allied energy security, that U.S. positions are well represented in regular meetings in these organizations and with these countries, and that high-level consultations involving the Secretary and other senior DOE officials are well supported.

OFFICE OF AUDITS The Office of Audits is responsible for the internal auditing of the Department of Energy. The mission includes expanded scope audits in the areas of Financial and Compliance, Economy and Efficiency, and Program Results. The audits are conducted in conformance with generally accepted Government auditing standards. The Office of Audits' goals are to: (1) cause improvements to be made in the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of 00E's operations; and (2) prevent and detect waste, fraud and mismanagement. The Office of Audits conducts independent evaluations of DOE's operating and administrative programs including an assessment of the Department's financial and management control systems and procedures. Recommendations are made to management to correct areas where improvements are needed. The Office of Audits is committed to the following objectives: (1) the performance of expanded scope audits (audits of program results and economy and efficiency); (2) a highly trained, competent, innovative, mobile, performance-oriented, professional audit organization that is current with today's technology and is respected; (3) an ability to provide to the DOE a full-scope, quality, service-oriented, cost-effective and well-balanced audit service that produces reports on time, meets legislative requirements, and meets the highest standards of the audit profession; (4) an audit and resource planning system that will enable the 016 to effectively "target" projects and functions in need of audit, determine and demonstrate the amount of audit resources required to meet needs of the Department, direct audit resources to those subjects in greatest need of audit, and manage audits and evaluations done under contract; and (5) contribution to multi-agency audits, system development projects, and active participation in activities sponsored by the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency, the National Intergovernmental Audit Forum and like organizations. OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS The Office of Investigations performs the statutory investigative duties which relate to the promotion of economy and efficiency in the administration of, or the prevention or detection of fraud or abuse in, programs and operations of the Department. The major program objectives of the Office of Investigations for FY 1990 are as follows: (1) to dispose of all allegations received by the Office of Inspector General either by determination that no further action is necessary, by referral to another government agency, by immediate referral to the FBI, by referral to DOE management for inquiry, action and reply, or by investigation resulting in prosecutive or administrative action; (2) to identify activities that have historically been vulnerable to waste, fraud or mismanagement; (3) to further implement an investigative program for the 553 # correction of systemic deficiencies or weak internal controls; (4) to develop an investigative program which identifies wrongdoing by Departmental employees and/or contractors leading to conviction, monetary recovery and/or suspension/debarment; and (5) to conduct joint projects with the Offices of Audits and Inspections and Analysis, with respect to Departmental activities in procurement, environment, and safeguards and security. OFFICE OF INSPECTIONS AND ANALYSIS The Office of Inspections and Analysis is established to meet the strategic objectives of the Office of Inspector General by providing independent and objective inspections and analyses of the effectiveness, efficiency, and economy of the programs and operations of the Department of Energy. An inspection is an examination of a program, function or activity. The purpose of an inspection is to evaluate the effectiveness and/or efficiency of an operation; to determine compliance with laws and regulations; or to evaluate program results. An inspection is also another 016 technique used to detect or prevent fraud, waste or mismanagement. Inspections may provide more immediate and timely feedback to program managers and, in some instances, inspections may provide a source of analytical information for criminal investigations or audits. In order to focus more specifically on the strategic objectives of the 0 IG, the Office has recently restructured its organization. Efforts have been initiated in the areas of Environment, Safety and Health, Safeguards and Security, intelligence and management issues that impact on economy, efficiency and integrity of operations. Future activities will continue to emphasize reviews of the critical issues related to these area S. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT Program Management and Support is composed of the direct staff of the Inspector General and the Office of Executive Director. This staff provides executive direction and support to the Office of Inspector General. Functions include budget preparation, justification and execution; responding to Freedom of Information and Privacy Act requests, Congressional and media inquiries; providing legal counsel to the Inspector General; cónducting quality assurance reviews; providing management and technical support; and providing personnel and administrative support. h # : sº FY 1988 Activity Actual Salaries . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $7,813 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 448 Benefits . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,222 Travel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 714 Spt/Svcs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1, 184 DCAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,329 Contract Audits . . . . . 6,288 Capital Equipment . . . . . 235 Total . . . . . . . . . & e º & © e. $21,233 Operating Expenses ...

As in FY 1988, the ability to refocus is limited by the man- dated demands for pro- curement audits. A total of five addi- tional FTEs are being requested to meet the Department's increasing requirements for these audits. Another ten FTEs are being requested to better serve the audit needs of the De- partment in several sensitive and critical areas. A total of 400 audits are projected in FY 1989.

Investigative recoveries amounted to approximately $768,065. 33 FTEs. ($2,042) Emphasis will shift to the development, of criminal cases. This Shift will be reflected in more referral S of administrative matters to D0E management and the conduct of longer contract/procurement cases jointly with the Offices of Audits and/or Inspections and Analysis. Two addi- tional field Offices located at DOE/G000 sites will enhance in- vestigative capabilities. Recommendations for corrective action on weaknesses of internal management controls are expected. The number of cases processed should decline to about 300. However, there should be an increase in the number of convic- tions to around 25 and an increase in monetary recoveries to approxi- mately $1,000,000. New 561 Emphasis will continue on the development of criminal cases, partic– ularly in the contract/ procurement area of DOE activities. Potential civil remedies against wrongdoing Departmental contractors will be fully pursued in joint projects with the Offices of Audits and/or Inspections and Analysis.

This request is an increase of $7,790,000 over the FY 1989 appropriation. This increase is needed primarily to support growth in contractual require- ments for statutorily mandated environmental work in the hydropower and pipeline certification activities and fixed cost increases to basic programs. This budget, adjusted for inflation, mandatory pay increases, and environ- mental contracts, is in real terms about the same as the budget level for the last 3 years. The Commission's request is necessary to support the processing of more than 45,000 workload items during FY 1990, including more than 16,000 docketed program workload items. This level of effort reflects the continuing high volume of complex, highly technical Commission workload such as preparation of environmental impact statements that must be acted upon by the Commission in a timely ſman fier". The Commission also has significant responsibilities in the dam safety area, which require dam inspections of licensed hydropower projects and in the natural gas producer area, which require the establishment of the various price categories for natural gas under the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA). Tables showing the overall workload of the Commission are shown on pages 10 through 12. Full Cost Recovery Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 and other laws, the Commission has established a system of annual charges and fees to collect the full cost of operations for all Commission programs. The revenue generated from these charges and fees results in a net appropriation of $0. This represents the Commission's response in support of the President's initiatives on full-cost recovery. Management and Policy Overview . . The Commission is obligated to render sound decisions expeditiously for the Nation's consumers and the industries subject to its jurisdiction. Thus, the Commission has adopted a policy of improving the quality and timeliness of its decisions as well as the accessibility to Commission information and issuances. 1619 To implement this policy, the Commission has installed more than 700 personal computers since late 1986 with standard software packages replacing out-dated equipment and labor-intensive procedures. These technological improvements have provided staff a wide range of automated tools to speed up preparation of rate analyses, documents, audits, and work-flow tracking. The Commission has also embarked on an automated forms management pro- gram. When fully operational, this program will provide computer access to standardized forms, thus eliminating the need for the purchase or storage of these forms. The program began in the personnel area, with the input of performance standards and appraisal forms on personal computers throughout the Commission. The Commission is also exploring other administrative areas for forms automation, such as travel authorizations and vouchers, requisitions and purchase orders, data base of standardized solicitation provisions, and other standardized documents. In November 1988, the Commission implemented a new automated docketing system. The docketing system is integrated with the FERC workload tracking system and provides the public and staff with electronic access to docket sheets. In addition, the Commission has taken or is in the process of taking a number of other actions, all of which are aimed at improving the efficiency of operations: Q Consolidated existing support services contracts, to improve services and reduce costs. O Awarded a contract on August 10, 1988, to consolidate environmental services to support the program offices which will reduce costs and improve the timeliness of services. Implemented an electronic bulletin board system, the Commission Issuance Posting System. This system offers to the public, at no cost, 24-hour on-line computer access to Commission orders, press releases, and the Commission agenda. Thus, documents are available on the day they are posted, with no delays. Implemented a new Payroll Utilization Reporting System that simplifies internal reporting requirements for measuring staff time for fees and annual charges purposes. Preparing notices of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to facilitate the processing of applications from jurisdictional companies through electronic submission. Preparing procedures to expedite the hydroelectric relicensing process. o Amending the regulations to reduce regulatory review for abandonment of certain sales and purchases under the Natural Gas Act. 1620 Program Restructuring Natural Gas and Hydropower program structures have been changed for FY 1990. In the Natural Gas program, the Producer Certificates, Rates, and Wellhead Pricing programs were consolidated into one program called Producer Regulation. This is to reflect the shift in regulatory emphasis from the producer area to the pipeline area. In the Hydropower program area, the activities have been expanded with the addition of the Project Compliance and Administration program. The program highlights the growing importance of license compliance monitoring, environmental protection, imposition of fines for noncompliance under the Electric Consumers Protection Act (ECPA), and relicensing review requirements. Natural Gas Initiatives The FY 1990 budget request provides funding for the continued implementation of FERC's broad-based gas strategy. This program addresses such key issues as: ° Innovative development of natural gas transportation. ° The problems of pipeline take-or-pay. * Abandonment of wellhead sales under certain eligible contracts. * Assurance of fair market practices in a climate of lessening government regulation. ° Development of pipeline rate design initiatives that promote more efficient production, transportation, and consumption of natural gas, including capacity brokering. The Commission's goal is to establish a regulatory framework flexible enough to permit pipelines to offer a variety of services, including open- access transportation. This budget requests the resources necessary to achieve this goal. Open-Access Transportation The Commission will continue to foster open-access transportation. The Commission has issued an interim rule, Order No. 500, on remand from the Court of its original transportation rule. To date, 19 of the 23 major pipelines are operating on a completely open- access basis under a blanket certificate. These 19 pipelines account for nearly 75 percent of the interstate pipeline throughput. One other major pipeline was issued a blanket certificate. Although the pipeline has not yet accepted the certificate, it is transporting under the self-implementing, open-access provisions of Section 311 of the NGPA. 1621 The Commission will continue to process all applications for blanket transportation authority on a case-by-case basis and to encourage pipelines to enter the blanket transportation program. In addition, a final rule was issued in Docket Nos. RM88-14-000 and RM88-15-000 implementing the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. That rule requires pipelines operating in the Federal offshore area to accept blanket certificates. Take-or-Pay One of the most difficult issues with which the Commission is dealing is take-or-pay. This primarily concerns efforts to mitigate the accumulation of past take-or-pay costs and to avoid future take-or-pay build-up. Order No. 500 has tackled these fronts directly, establishing a context within which producers, pipelines, and their customers will each bear their appropriate share of past take-or-pay costs, establishing a crediting mechanism to avoid present accumulation of take-or-pay costs, and establishing the ground rules for a gas inventory charge (GIC) that will avoid future accumulation of take-or-pay. - The Commission will be implementing these programs on a pipeline-by- pipeline basis to address the take-or-pay problem that has impeded accurate price signals from being transmitted between producers and consumers. Thus far, FERC has accepted passthrough of take-or-pay costs for ten upstream pipelines--United, Tennessee, Natural, Transco, Southern, El Paso, Columbia, Trunkline, Panhandle, and Transwestern--and approved a GIC for three pipelines, Transwestern, Natural and Texas Eastern. Abandonment The Commission has adopted a generic rule on abandonments, Order No. 490, that provides for automatic abandonment where contracts permit, and facilitates other requested abandonments in order to enhance flexibility in the market. As a result, the Nation's gas supply can be more efficiently utilized to satisfy consumer needs. The flexibility provided by this market- based approach should assist pipelines and producers as business relation- ships in the natural gas industry continue to be restructured. Gas Marketing The emergence of gas marketers is a relatively new phenomenon in this evolving, more open marketplace where sellers other than the pipeline deal directly with consumers. However, some gas marketing companies that are affiliated with interstate pipelines may enjoy the potential for preferential access to pipeline capacity that could inhibit competition and thereby impede the transmission of accurate price signals. 1622 The Commission has developed standards of conduct for interstate pipelines' arrangements with marketing affiliates, as well as reporting and recordkeeping procedures for transportation requests and working out problems on an expedited basis. The new rule took effect on July 14, 1988, and is scheduled for re-evaluation by December 31, 1989. Rate Design Rate design is another of the difficult issues the Commission is facing at this time. Efficiency in the market requires that rates reflect the value of the service or commodity being sold as well as the costs. Implementing this principle may require a number of potentially significant changes in the way the Commission designs rates. For example, allowing unused capacity to be brokered or assigned by holders of firm capacity rights could result in more efficient use of trans- portation capacity. But, in allowing such an innovative program, the Commis- sion must ensure that competition is adequate to avoid abuse of market power. A proposed rule was issued April 4, 1988. Early in FY 1989, a proposal was filed by United Gas Pipeline Company to establish an experimental brokering program. In addition, the Commission will consider allowing market-driven rates where competition can be relied upon to establish just and reasonable rates. Sufficient competition may exist in holding gas inventory available for customers, as was found in the Transwestern inventory charge order. Northeast Pipeline Capacity During FY 1989 and FY 1990, the Commission will be dealing with the complex proposals for expanding pipeline capacity in the Northeast. These proposals involve domestic and Canadian supplies that will supplement current supply and serve new and incremental markets. These proposals involve huge sums of money and represent more than a 50 percent increase over present pipeline capacity in this region. These applications include both traditional and optional certificate authority and comprise thousands of pages of documentation. These complex cases raise many competing issues that must be carefully analyzed and compared with data in other applications. In addition, many involve sensitive environmental issues that must be thoroughly aired and carefully analyzed. The Commission continues to look for innovative ways in which the envir- onmental reviews can be processed for the Northeast Project filings as expeditiously as possible. Project determinations initially consolidated 73 separate applications into 37 distinct projects designated as competitive, discrete, or optional certificates. By the end of November 1988, cumulative determinations by the Commission had produced the following project status: 11 competitive, 22 discrete, and 3 optional certificates. Eleven certificates for discrete projects have been issued. 1623 On November 30, 1988, the Chief Administrative Law Judge, who served as Settlement Judge over the consolidated competitive projects, certified a settlement to the Commission. Pending Commission review, this settlement found both the Champlain and Iroquois projects to be discrete and settled all competitive issues involving these projects. The parties agreed that these two projects along with the ANR Project would meet both current and future requirements of the Northeast natural gas market, and that the facilities would complement and increment the existing pipeline systems serving that market. The Commission is currently reviewing the settlement. If the Commission affirms the settlement that the projects are discrete, the parties will be able to amend their applications to reflect the settlement. This would then allow the specific merits of each proposal to be considered without the necessity of complex, time consuming, comparative hearings. Mobile Bay In addition to the Northeast Project, attention has been focused on another major project in the gas industry. This project, to develop offshore reserves and establish a transportation network to get gas to market from the Mobile Bay region of Alabama, involves an estimated reserve volume of over 5 trillion cubic feet. The Commission requested all pipelines who wish to have certificates related to specific acreage in this project to file applications no later than December 30, 1988. Automation of Filing Requirements During FY 1989 and FY 1990, the Commission will require that certain forms, rate filings, tariffs, and certificate applications be filed on an electronic medium. Filings received on an electronic medium will enable the Commission to process regulatory data in a timely manner and to reduce the time required to review applications. Electric Energy Proposals Major FERC regulatory initiatives seek to allocate resources and lower prices more efficiently than can regulation through competition. The FY 1990 budget reflects the agency's efforts to place greater reliance on market forces to set electric rates. Notice of Proposed Rulemakings In March 1988, the Commission issued three proposed rulemakings aimed at meeting new capacity needs. Two of the rulemakings involved the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) of 1978. This law was passed to encourage cogeneration and alternative energy production, e.g., water power, wind, and solar energy. The statute requires utilities to offer to purchase power from qualifying facilities. Under the Commission's regulations, rates for such purchases are equal to the utility's avoided cost--or the cost the utility would otherwise incur in generating electricity itself or purchasing from another source. 1624 The third rulemaking involves FERC regulation of a new breed of electric generators--the independent power producer (IPP). IPPs are producers who fail to qualify for PURPA benefits but who lack utility monopoly power. On July 29, 1988, a fourth NOPR was issued. It addresses, among other things, criteria by which cogeneration and small power production facilities (QF) can qualify for PURPA benefits. In this connection, several changes have been proposed to streamline QF application processing. These proposals to amend and clarify the Commission's regulations reflect its experience with the QF program. In addition, the proposals address the Commission's continuing obligation to review policies that encourage cogenera- tion and small power production, energy conservation, efficient use of facili- ties and resources by electric utilities, and equitable rates for consumers. During FY 1989 and FY 1990, the Commission will continue to develop and implement policies aimed at providing a flexible, consistent regulatory framework for the electric utility industry. Hydropower Regulation Resources needed for this program will allow the completion of the implementation of the hydropower applications requirements for processing under the Electric Consumers Protection Act. In addition, the budget request reflects the resource level needed to perform the full range of ECPA analyses. These include: * Assessments of comprehensive plans. ° Evaluation of applicant plans for proposed projects. * Identification of required enhancement and protection of environmental resource S. ° Negotiations with state and Federal agencies to resolve environmental differences. The Commission's budget request also recognizes the changing character- istics of its hydropower workload. These changes are shown in such things a S : ° The decline of the total number of applications for preliminary permits, exemptions, and new capacity licenses. ° The increased complexity of the applications received--many requiring the preparation of environmental impact statements. ° Increased compliance activities resulting from recently issued licenses. * Preparation for relicensing applications expected in coming years. 1625 The Hydropower program structure has been changed in FY 1990 to include a separate activity for compliance activities begun in FY 1988. The large number of licenses issued in the past several years will result in a significantly increased workload in processing license amendments and license compliance activities. New emphasis has been placed on ensuring compliance with Commission orders and regulations. Also, efforts are underway to assemble compliance histories and to implement the penalty provisions provided for by ECPA in cases of noncompliance. Contract funds to supplement staff efforts are requested in the budget to conduct the environmental analyses needed in issuing hydropower licenses. Funds also are needed to address significant environmental issues that go beyond those that can be routinely considered as part of the application review process. Relicensing will become an increasingly visible activity in FY 1989 and beyond. Currently, 48 relicense applications are pending, and an additional 260 licenses will expire between now and the year 2000. Of these, approx- imately 170 are expected to be filed in 1992. These relicense applications are for licenses originally granted in the 1920's and 1930's when there were only minor environmental considerations and few license provisions. The Commission has established an outreach program to aid prospective applicants and Federal, state, and local resource agencies in understanding the new relicensing requirements. A relicensing handbook is also being prepared to aid in this effort. In the Dam Safety program, the Commission is responsible for inspecting more than 2, 200 dams--an increase of 200 dams from the FY 1987 inventory. The funds requested in this budget will permit the Commission to maintain the effectiveness of its dam safety program. To this end, the program's compliance activities have been transferred to the new Project Compliance and Administration program. This will allow the total dedication of resources to accomplish the required dam safety inspection activities. Oil Pipeline Regulation In the area of Oil Pipeline Regulation, FERC is attempting to implement the ratemaking methodology established in Opinion No. 154-8. The lead cases employing this new methodology are expected to come before the Commission for resolution in FY 1989. In addition, the Commission has indicated a willing- ness to consider a lighter handed approach to oil pipeline ratemaking than the cost-based ratemaking methodology in Opinion No. 154-B when the record shows that sufficient competition exists. 1626 The long running Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) rate case came to a conclusion on October 3, 1988, when the Supreme Court rejected a final chal - lenge by Artic Slope Regional Corporation to reopen the proceedings. The Commission will increase its efforts to handle additional considera- tions necessary to establish appropriate rates in formal rate cases, and will continue to commit resources to review oil pricing cases referred by the Department of Energy. Conclusion The Commission's primary mission is to ensure that consumers get - adequate, reliable supplies of natural gas and electric power at the lowest possible cost while providing opportunities to suppliers and transporters of energy to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions. ' The natural gas industry is undergoing a change from a monopoly structure requiring heavy- handed regulation to a competitive industry where the market determines the value and price of the commodity. Nationwide open-access transportation is fast becoming a reality; consumers now have more options, and a new era of reliance on gas is dawning. The electric power industry is entering a period of increasingly competitive pressures, particularly in generation. The Commission has proposed regulatory changes that recognize and encourage movement toward a more market-driven industry. In hydropower, the Commission will continue its efforts to implement ECPA; continue to process increasingly more complex applications, many requiring environmental impact statements; strengthen compliance activities; prepare for relicensing of hundreds of existing projects; and maintain an effective dam safety program. Environmental protection has become increas- ingly prominent in Commission activities, especially in hydroelectric licensing and siting of natural gas pipelines. This budget request of $116,550,000 and 1,632 FTE's reflects these efficiencies and the new policy and program realities of the 1990's already discussed. It is the minimum amount necessary to process a projected high volume of applications and other workload in a timely, effective manner. Finally, offsetting revenues generated from Commission fees and annual charges will result in a net appropriation of $0. 1627 DOCKETED WORKLOAD Pipeline Certificates Pipeline Rates Producer Regulation Hydropower Licensing Project Compliance and Administration Oil Pipeline Electric Power Subtotal NON-DOCKETED WORKLOAD Producer Regulation Dam Safety Inspections Subtotal TOTAL RECEIPTS Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FY 1990 Congressional Budget Request SUMMARY OF RECEIPTS FY 1988 Actual 1,002 7,714 2,996 423 28,030 1,932 29,962 45,468 FY 1989 Estimate 26,370 2,045 28,415 44,899 FY 1990 Estimate 1,500 8,075 2,238 430 25,970 2,052 28,022 44,562 10 1628 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FY 1990 Congressional Budget Request DOCKETED WORKLOAD Pipeline Certificates Pipeline Rates Producer Regulation Hydropower Licensing Project Compliance and Administration Oil Pipeline Electric Power | Subtotal NON-DOCKETED WORKLOAD Producer Regulation Dam Safety Inspections Subtotal TOTAL COMPLETIONS SUMMARY OF COMPLETIONS FY 1988 Actual 843 7,568 3,025 569 FY 1989 Estimate 1,525 7,997 2,520 511 l,976 389 1,720 16,638 46,053 FY 1990 Estimate 1,523 8, 144 2,226 475 2, 167 387 l,767 16,689 11 1629 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FY 1990 Congressional Budget Request DOCKETED WORKLOAD Pipeline Certificates Pipeline Rates Producer Regulation Hydropower Licensing Project Compliance and Admini Stration Oil Pipeline Electric Power Subtotal NON-DOCKETED WORKLOAD Producer Regulation Dam Safety Inspections Subtotal TOTAL PENDING SUMMARY OF PENDING WORKLOAD FY 1987 Actual 444 678 324 235 108 479 2,839 6,824 0 6,824 9,663 FY 1988 Actual 5,367 0 5,367 8,299 FY 1989 599 7.43 244 345 535 1 3 7 3 2 9 3 8 4,367 0 4,367 7,305 Estimate FY 1990 Estimate 576 674 256 300 534 90 359 2,789 3,362 O 3,362 6, 151 1/ Pending workload adjusted by 160 at the start of FY 1989; see Table 15 on page 75. 12 1630.

Goals of the Natural Gas Regulation Program: O Ensure that all rates and conditions of service for the sale and trans- portation of natural gas in interstate commerce are in compliance with the applicable statutory mandates. 13 1631 Q Establish regulatory policies that will assist the industry and the public in adjusting to the phased removal of well head price controls pursuant to the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) of 1978, the trend toward transportation, and the restructuring of the business relationships among all segments of the industry. O Institute, administer and review data collection procedures to ensure that they are adequate to provide the Commission with the regulatory information necessary to evaluate developments in the industry. O Evaluate the impact of the NGPA and the Natural Gas Act (NGA) on current and projected natural gas markets, including market ordering problems. The Commission is responsible for the regulation of more than 9,700 natural gas producers and about 150 natural gas pipelines. . This entails ensuring the lowest reasonable rates for the sale and transportation of natural gas consis- tent with safe and reliable long-term service. Under the NGA of 1938, the Commission regulates the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce by issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity for these services as well as the construc- tion and operation of facilities and setting rates for such services. The Commission's jurisdiction was expanded by the NGPA of 1978, which required administration of ceiling prices for certain categories of natural gas produc- tion in interstate and intrastate commerce. In addition, the NGPA also required the Commission to implement procedures that permit the sale, trans- portation, and assignment of natural gas by intrastate pipelines. Finally, the NGPA altered significantly the pipeline curtailment priorities. Specifi- cally, the Act provided that interstate gas deliveries needed for certain essential agricultural and industrial uses generally would not be curtailed unless gas was needed to serve higher priority users. Under the Department of Energy Organization Act, all functions dealing with the regulation of the import or export of natural gas were wested in the Secretary of Energy. A portion of this responsibility--namely, the approval of the construction and operation of facilities and approval of the point of entry where new facilities are required--has been delegated to the Commission. In addition, the Secretary delegated responsibility for related applications to construct and operate the associated jurisdictional facilities and the delivery and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce. As was stipulated in the NGPA, on January 1, 1985, certain categories of gas were decontrolled. This required several changes to the Commission's regula- tions which were implemented in Order No. 406 issued on November 16, 1984. In general, this order reaffirmed the need to file jurisdictional agency determi- nations for certain gas to be deregulated, provided for interim collections by the producer at deregulated prices, and clarified the fact that gas qualifying for a deregulated price category as well as a regulated price category would 92–897 O—89––52 14 1632 be deregulated. On July 1, 1987, the final phase of deregulation under the NGPA occurred. The Supreme Court, on May 31, 1988, upheld the deregulation provisions of the Commission's Order No. 406. In total, approximately 60 percent of all natural gas is currently decontrolled. The Commission's Natural Gas program illustrates the complex issues a regula- tory agency faces when it attempts to interject competitive ideals into a partially regulated environment. In enacting the NGPA, Congress set the natural gas industry in motion toward increasing reliance on competition in the market to establish rational prices for gas. The Commission's objective now is to accommodate both the regulated and the competitive enterprise aspects of the industry in carrying out its legislatively mandated responsi- bilities. Refashioning rigid regulations that tend to slow down the indus- try's ability to react to market conditions is a necessity, as is preventing market power from distorting price signals. Producers, pipelines, local distribution companies (LDC), and consumers must be given the opportunity to react promptly to changing circumstances so as to encourage competition and promote free enterprise. With these goals in mind, the Commission began to implement its major natural gas reforms, principally in Order No. 436/500, Order No. 451 and Order No. 490, to permit all segments of the industry to respond on a timely basis to the new competitive pressures and restructuring occurring in natural gas markets. Order No. 451 (issued June 6, 1986) revised the ceiling price structure for old natural gas still regulated by the Commission under the NGPA, establishing a new ceiling price of $2.57 per MMBtu, subject to inflation. On June 23, 1987, in Associated Gas Distributors v. FERC, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded to the Commission Order No. 436 which, among other things, provided for nondiscriminatory open-access to transportation. The Court upheld the essential authority invoked by the Commission to condition transportation on the pipelines offering transporta- tion service to all potential shippers on a nondiscriminatory basis. The Court sent the rule back to the Commission, however, for work principally on the rule's requirement that pipelines allow their LDC customers to reduce their contract demand quantities and on the rule's failure to address adequately the take-or-pay issue. In response to that remand, on August 7, 1987, the Commission issued Order No. 500, an interim rule and policy statement on its open-access natural gas transportation program. The interim rule aims at relieving gas industry uncertainty over FERC's transportation regulations and at keeping gas flowing to consumers during the transition period while the Commission is considering new permanent rules. Order No. 500 was modified in Order Nos. 500-A through F primarily to reduce some of the administrative burden identified by comment- ers.. Order No. 500 regulations generally became effective on September 15, 1987, although, pursuant to Order No. 500-B, the effective date of take-or-pay crediting and contract demand conversion provisions was January 1, 1988. 15 1633 Several major issues must still be resolved. Besides promulgating the Order No. 500 regulations, the Commission initiated a number of other innovative regulatory programs that will need further analysis and implementation during upcoming years. The following are the main components of the Commission's ongoing gas strategy, first announced by the Chairman in January 1987. Take-or-Pay - On March 5, 1987, the Commission issued for public comment a proposed policy for dealing with take-or-pay buyout and buydown costs result- ing from reforming existing contracts between pipelines and producers. The goal is one of equitable sharing of costs in order to assure market responsive purchasing practices. Under the proposed policy statement, if pipelines were wiiling to absorb an equitable share of the costs of buying down or buying out their uneconomic contracts, they would be able to recover the remaining half of these costs through a demand surcharge. The Commission received approxi- mately 160 comments on the proposed policy. The Commission's Order No. 500 incorporated, among other things, a take-or- pay policy statement designated as section 2. 104 of the Commission's general policy and interpretations. The section 2. 104 policy statement incorporates a number of significant revisions and modifications to the original proposed policy statement. Under the revised policy statement, pipelines may continue seeking to recover 100 percent of their take-or-pay buyout and buydown costs through their commodity sales rates. Alternatively, pipelines which agree to accept a blanket certificate for open-access transportation may, at their discretion, agree to absorb from 25 to 50 percent of their take-or-pay costs. These pipelines would be entitled to recover, through a fixed charge, an equal percentage of their take-or-pay costs. Remaining costs, up to 50 percent of total take-or-pay costs, could be recovered at the pipeline's option through a commodity rate surcharge or a volumetric surcharge on total pipeline through- put. The policy statement provides for charging take-or-pay costs to firm sales and transportation customers. The policy statement is only temporary and is scheduled to expire on March 31, 1989. The Commission is reviewing the comments submitted on Order No. 500 by interested parties. Since most major pipelines have outstanding take-or-pay obligations as well as , the need to restructure their long-term gas contracts, it is probable that these major pipelines will file to recover take-or-pay buyout or contract reformation costs. A number have take-or-pay cases pending and others are likely to be filed. It is probable that pipelines will make at least several successive rate filings before the take-or-pay problems on their system can be Worked out. To date, 11 upstream gas pipeline companies have filed proposals under Order No. 500 to deal with past take-or-pay buyouts and the Commission has accepted, although not formally approved, 10 of these proposals. In addition, the Commission has accepted 35 proposals by downstream pipelines to pass through take-or-pay settlement costs billed to them under Order No. 500 by the upstream pipelines. It is expected that some hearings involving take-or-pay buyout/buydown costs will be necessary to inquire into the pipeline's purchasing practices that gave rise to the take-or-pay buyout/buydown costs. These hearings will occur 16 1634 if the customers or state commissions or certain consumer advocates do not accept the pipeline's proposal under Order No. 500. It is the Commission's policy that such cases should be settled to the maximum extent possible, although some fully litigated cases will probably be required. Further, Order No. 500 outlined principles to govern a natural gas inventory charge that would permit customers who wish to purchase firm service to do so by paying on an ongoing basis for the cost of maintaining a firm supply. The Commission believes that a gas inventory charge is a reasonable method of compensating pipelines for the cost of maintaining gas supply to serve their customers, and encourages pipelines to explore this option. Currently, nine pipeline companies have filed their proposals to implement a gas inventory charge. The Commission has issued certificates for three of these proposals with two certificates granted only for one year. Most of the filings have been set for formal hearing to review the lawfulness of the proposed rates and Services. Fair Market Practices - The open-access provisions of Order No. 436 have brought to light a situation wherein certain practices of the natural gas industry may lead to discrimination in the area of first-come, first-served transportation by interstate pipelines. Interstate pipelines have in the past few years established affiliates with the objective of purchasing natural gas at the well head for resale to either end users or distributors with the transportation service to be supplied by an interstate pipeline. The Commis- sion has become concerned that these affiliates may, through corporate ties with the pipelines, have a distinct advantage over other companies for the available transportation capacity and thus thwart the increased competition objectives of Order No. 500. In an adjudicated case (Opinion No. 275), undue preference was found, and remedies were imposed. . One of the Commission's primary responsibilities is to prevent undue discrim- ination by piplines against nonaffiliated shippers. Towards this goal, on June 1, 1988 (Order No. 497), the Commission issued a final rule which, among other things, established standards of conduct for relationships between interstate pipelines and their marketing affiliates, established reporting and recordkeeping procedures, and created procedures for processing complaints. Implementation is underway, and a reevaluation of the program will be completed before December 31, 1989. Abandonment - In another major action to implement the natural gas strategy announced in January 1987, the Commission on February 5, 1988, issued a final generic rule (Order No. 490) amending its regulations dealing with abandon- ment. Under the rule, when a well head contract has expired or has been terminated, the producer, upon 30 days written notice, may abandon sales to its interstate pipeline or local distribution company purchaser. The aban- donment is automatically effective in accordance with the notice given and the abandoning party must notify the Commission of the abandonment within 30 days. If the parties agree to terminate the well head contract or to modify their well head sales and purchase obligations under the contract, the abandonment is effective in accordance with the parties' agreement, but one of the parties must notify the Commission within 30 days of the effective date 17 1635 of action. Once a pipeline becomes an open-access transporter, it can also abandon purchases from producers when the underlying contract expires or is terminated. Pipeline purchasers that operate under blanket transportation certificates may also discontinue purchases from other pipelines once their contract expires or otherwise terminates. Rate Design The Commission wants to ensure that rates are designed to foster, not thwart, the benefits of marketplace competition. Various mechanisms are being studied to achieve these results, involving both traditional cost-based ratemaking principles and incentive mechanisms, as well as market-established rates where markets are truly competitive. By allowing supplies to be more accurately geared to the marketplace, the Commission's gas initiatives would permit the Nation's entire gas supply to be utilized more efficiently to satisfy consumer needs. Moreover, the Nation's broader energy security interests would be served by removing regulatory impediments to the marketing of natural gas, thereby reducing the vulnera- bility of the economy to oil supply disruptions. Rulemakings By order issued April 4, 1988, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) was issued in Docket No. RM88-13-000 which would allow holders of firm transportation rights on an interstate pipeline to sell or assign (broker) those rights to others. Under the proposal, certificate authorization would be required for pipelines allowing brokering on their systems, and separate certificates would be required for the brokers of that capacity. A technical conference was held, and the supplemental comment period closed September 16, 1988. Early in FY 1989, United Gas Pipe Line Company filed a brokering proposal to be carried out on an experimental basis for 3 years. Early Commission consideration is anticipated. Also on April 4, 1988, in Docket Nos. RM88-14-000 and RM88-15-000, the Commission issued an interpretive rule and an NOPR, respectively, which would require any interstate pipeline operating in the Federal offshore area to obtain a blanket certificate and offer transportation service on a nondiscriminatory basis. The pipelines would be required to file for such certificates within 60 days of the effective date of the final rule. Pending action on its application, a temporary certificate would be granted. On December 9, 1988, a final rule was issued which granted all Outer Continental Shelf (00'S) pipelines blanket transportation certificates for which tariff and rate filings must be made by March 1, 1989. When those rates take effect, all shippers should have access to 00S transportation services. Management Initiatives Major initiatives have been undertaken and will continue to be pursued to ensure that the Commission is responsive to the many complex issues facing this agency in regulating the natural gas industry. Restructuring of the primary program office, the Office of Pipeline and Producer Regulation, has 18 1636 been effected in this regard. In addition to reorganizing technical staff components to deal with specific problem areas, functions have been consolidated or realigned to expedite and improve analysis of industry filings. In addition a training program will be implemented to enhance skills of displaced staff, to broaden the understanding and awareness of staff to overall gas program operations, and to improve management. During FY 1988 the Commission installed additional personal computers and upgraded its existing equipment. It also instituted a proposal for the submittal of a majority of industry filings and implemented the submittal of purchased gas adjustment (PGA) rate filings in electronic media. This, along with increased computer capability, will provide for an efficient and accurate method for processing all applications before the Commission. In the pipeline certificate area, in order to facilitate the tracking and processing of rate recommendations developed for certificate applications, pertinent data has been placed into a database system. Automation has stream- lined management control of these items and contributed to the development of consistent rate recommendations in certificate orders. Under the reorganiza- tion, staff was assigned to deal exclusively with these rate matters in certificates and the processing of transportation filings. In the pipeline engineering area, computer software and additional personal computer hardware have been acquired which will facilitate the evaluation of pipeline construction proposals, the focusing of operating issues, and the development of mapping capability. This improved analytical capability, as well as the additional personal computers, will speed case processing and allow staff to evaluate increasingly complex operating issues which arise as the pipeline industry moves to open-access transportation and unbundled gas services. - In the pipeline rate area, computer technology is necessary to implement the Natural Gas Data Collection System initiated by the Commission in Order No. 493, and the filing requirements initiated for PGAs in Order No. 483. This program is aimed at developing a new, automated system for data collection that will compress the process, reduce the burden, and provide more up-to-date information which is specifically targeted to assist the Commission in its gas pipeline ratemaking function including renegotiations under Order No. 451. Under Docket No. RM88-12-000 (FERC Form 591), the Commission proposed the collection of electronically submitted data that would collect pipeline operational data. This data collection system is intended to monitor trans- portation activities and to assist in setting rates and issuing certificates by providing data concerning market trends. The Commission is reviewing its proposal for issuance in the future. In addition, the Commission will monitor certain pipeline practices more fully described in Order No. 497 (FERC Form 592) under Docket No. RM87–5-000. The transportation data reporting will provide the Commission with the information it needs to monitor regulated pipelines' activities with affiliates, and to use as the basis for further action in the event that abuses are alleged. The system will also permit the Commission to provide better information to the public, more quickly, and in a form more compatible with modern information 19 1637 processing technology. The reorganization has provided staff to assist in the automation and data collection efforts required by these rulemakings. The PGA automated data filing will provide improved and faster determination of actual gas costs and will permit automatic and immediate comparison of prices for purchases from affiliates versus purchases from nonaffiliates. As a result of Order No. 493, pipeline certificate applications will be required to be filed on electronic media. To the extent possible, the Commission intends to develop standard, formatted data requirements for the various types of certificate applications. This would expedite the processing of such applications since staff could develop models to use the electroni- cally filed data and easily make comparisons between a number of related projects. Although certificate applications must include all information required by the regulations, the format for that information has never been standardized. FY 1990 Resource Requirements The Commission is requesting a total of $53,905,000 and 743 FTE's for the Natural Gas program in FY 1990, an increase of $3,460,000 over FY 1989 and a decrease of 32 FTE's. The increase in funds is due to the automated office support system, increased employee benefits, additional contract funds for environmental activities related to the Northeast and Mobile Bay Projects, and this program's share of fixed cost increases. Funds are required to process the workload which is impacted by the substan- tive cases and issues in each of the three subprograms: Pipeline Certifi- cates, Pipeline Rates, and Producer Regulation. Tables l and 2 summarize the projected workload for these three programs. - * Table 1 - Total Natural Gas Workload Receipts Completions FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Pipeline Certificates 1,002 1,521 1,500 843 1,525 1,523 Pipeline Rates 7,714 7,916 8,075 7,568 7,997 8, 144 Producer Regulation 31,026 28,839 28, 208 32,512 29,890 29, 201 Total 39,742 38,276 37,783 40,923 39,412 38,868 Table 2 - Workload Pending at End of Fiscal Year FY 1987 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Pipeline Certificates 444 603 599 576 Pipeline Rates 678 824 743 674 Producer Regulation 7, 148 5,662 4,611 3,618 Total 8,270 7,089 5,953 4,868 20 1638 Pending workload at the end of FY 1990 is estimated to be 4,868 items, a decrease of more than 40 percent from the end of FY 1987. Nearly all of this decrease is attributable to eliminating a backlog of refund actions and overall declines in workload in the Producer Regulation program. However, these workload declines are offset by the need to devote resources toward processing the workload related to the Northeast Project and other major projects, the implementation of data collection procedures throughout the pipeline industry, and the Commission's other initiatives designed to allow more competitive forces to regulate the natural gas industry. The next 3 years will see tremendous changes in natural gas regulation as the Commission goes from the predominately case-by-case reactive approach to case processing to a generic, proactive leadership approach in response to the increase of competition in the industry. The Commission's emphasis will be on recognizing those areas where the new policies can be applied so that competi- tion can flourish and on regulating efficiently those areas where the customer requires the protection provided by the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act. - 21 1639 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Actual Appropriation Request Pipeline Certificate Regulation: Operating Expenses $16,257 $21,017 $23,425 Goals of the Pipeline Certificate Program: © Ensure that adequate gas transmission capacity is provided at reasonable rates to ensure reliability of service. O Provide a regulatory environment that will provide the incentive for increased natural gas sales, pipeline expansions, and competition. O Monitor and review programs governing the transportation of natural gas in both interstate and intrastate markets in anticipation of increasing demand for natural gas transportation services. O Fulfill the objectives of the NGPA by providing for the protection of high priority uses of natural gas. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Implement the Commission's gas strategy policy to allow the demand for gas and gas delivery services to establish the price for gas and those services. O Remove or reduce regulatory restrictions in competitive markets. © Expeditiously carry out regulatory responsibilities where markets are not competitive. © Process cases on a current basis to avoid backlogs and to reduce pending workload. O Implement policy and regulatory adjustments in response to court decisions on the Commission's transportation and pricing programs. O Process proposals to update supplier-transporter-customer relationships such as abandonments and new sales and storage proposals in response to changing market conditions. Natural gas pipelines transport natural gas from the various production areas to markets throughout the country. The pipeline industry comprises a pipeline network of more than 1 million miles in length which moves over 25 percent of the Nation's annual energy consumption to its point of utilization. A major component of this system is the 270,000 miles of larger diameter transmission facilities which move gas in interstate commerce over long distances to markets in 47 states. These transmission facilities represent an original investment exceeding $30 billion. 22 1640 The Pipeline Certificate program involves the evaluation of certificate appli- cations to transport, sell, store or exchange natural gas and to construct and operate facilities for such activities; to extend or abandon service; and to site and construct facilities for the import or export of natural gas. These responsibilities also include evaluation of the environmental impact of all proposed gas projects pursuant to the requirements of the National Environ- mental Policy Act of 1969, including the operational reliability of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. Finally, the Commission is responsible for reviewing pipeline curtailment plans which are required to ensure that service to priority end-users is maintained in the event of gas shortages. Certificate Applications Interstate natural gas pipeline companies apply for certificates for the transportation and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce and for the construction and operation of pipeline facilities. During the deliberations that led to passage of the NGA, it was generally recognized that interstate gas pipelines were not primarily transporters of natural gas for others. More typically, they were gas marketers because they purchased gas in the field, transported it to market, and sold it at wholesale to distribution companies. The Congress did not identify them as common carriers nor did it impose upon them common carriage obligations. As origi- nally promulgated, the NGA imposed upon the Commission the obligation to assure that rates and charges were just and reasonable; it also required the Commission to determine the public interest where one pipeline proposed to serve a market already being served by another pipeline. Essentially, it was the Commission's responsibility to determine whether and to what extent the competition involved in the proposal was in the public interest. In February 1942, the NGA was amended to require certificate authorization for the construction and/or operation of interstate pipeline facilities regardless of whether these facilities were involved in competition for the same markets. Congress had concluded that effective rate regulation required a review of construction projects prior to the construction taking place. Pursuant to this congressional intent, the Commission has historically encouraged compe- tition with reliable service. The Commission has implemented certain programs designed to reduce regulatory barriers and to encourage further competition. For example, the original blanket certificate program in Order No. 234, approved May 28, 1982, was developed for less controversial proposals and streamlined the regulatory process through its self-implementing feature, and by its prior notice procedure. Order No. 436, which was issued October 9, 1985, applies the same procedures to transportation transactions. The success of the blanket certificate open-access transportation program is such that receipts in the prior notice category are projected to double over the next two years. Order No. 436 also established optional certification procedures under Section 7 of the NGA for new facilities for pipelines that were willing to assume the economic risk of such ventures. These procedures were intended to allow 23 1641 pipelines and other eligible applicants to obtain Section 7 certification more quickly and easily without regard to other competing applications as long as environmental standards were met. These regulations were readopted in Order No. 500. The first optional certificate was issued to the Moraine Pipeline Company on February 2, 1988; six more are currently pending review. Wyoming- California Pipeline System (WyCal), one of three enhanced oil recovery proposals, is an optional certificate for which FERC issued a declaratory order for all nonenvironmental issues on July 1, 1988. On November 30, 1988, the Commission issued a conditional certificate authorizing construction of the project contingent upon completion of environmental review and the issuance of a final order. Examination of the environmental aspects of WyCal is scheduled for the early part of FY 1989. Final action on the enhanced oil recovery project is expected before the end of FY 1989. In addition to the activity relative to optional certification procedures, the Commission will be responding to major proposals for expanding pipeline capa- city in the Northeast. These proposals involve huge sums of money--in excess of $5 billion--and huge volumes of new capacity. Applications involve compe- titive proposals and sensitive environmental issues that must be thoroughly aired and carefully weighed. Innovative methods are being implemented to expedite review of the environmental issues. In addition to the Northeast Project, attention has been focused on the other major projects in the gas industry. The first is the development of offshore gas reserves and establishing a transportation network to get gas to market from the Mobile Bay Region of Alabama. This particular region represents the largest domestic discovery of natural gas since Prudhoe Bay and has estimated reserves of over 5 trillion cubic feet. The Commission, recognizing the importance of this discovery, issued a notice of deadline calling for pipe- lines who wished to have certificates related to this development by the end of 1990 to file applications with FERC no later than December 30, 1988. Capacity Brokering On April 4, 1988, the Commission issued an NOPR which would allow holders of firm transportation capacity to sell those rights. Two basic types of trans- actions were contemplated: (1) Part 284 pipelines selling firm capacity they are entitled to use on other pipelines, and (2) shippers selling firm capacity they are entitled to use on Part 284 pipelines. The NOPR stated that all seg- ments of the natural gas industry could benefit from a brokering program-- residential and industrial users of gas because they would no longer pay for capacity reserved on the pipeline that they do not need, and the pipelines because of increased throughput. Those in the market for firm transportation service would be able to obtain that service rather than the less valuable interruptible service. A technical conference was held in July, and supple- mental comments were filed in September. Issues identified include the need for certification of rebrokers, a precise description of what is to be brokered, ultimate responsibility to the transporter, and a price cap for rebrokers. 24 1642 Early in FY 1989, United Gas Pipe Line Company filed an amendment to its Part 284 blanket certificate to permit it, on a three-year experimental basis, to broker firm transportation capacity it holds on third-party pipelines and its shippers to rebroker firm transportation capacity they hold on United's system or that they acquire via United on the third-party systems. The United proposal addresses some of the NOPR issues by requesting all necessary certification in one filing, limiting brokered capacity to firm transportation and receipt and delivery points to those under the existing arrangement, applying rate caps to all rebrokers and retaining ultimate responsibility for scheduling and payment. Early Commission consideration is expected. If the United experiment is approved and is successful, other Part 284 pipelines could be expected to make similar proposals. Abandonments Under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, once interstate natural gas service has commenced, service can be abandoned only after the Commission has found it is in the public convenience or necessity to permit it, regardless of the term of the underlying contractual arrangement. Until recently, the method for determining the "public convenience or neces- sity" was to weigh the relative needs of competing pipeline purchasers and their ultimate consumers. Since the passage of the NGPA in 1978, which elimi- nated the dual intrastate and interstate gas market and elevated the role of the market in allocating supply and determining the price of gas at the well- head, the Commission has gradually modified its abandonment policy. On February 5, 1988, the Commission issued a Final Rule (Order No. 490) which permits, on a generic basis, both. first sellers and pipeline purchasers who are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction to abandon their sales or purchases when the underlying contracts expired, have terminated in accordance with a provision of the contract, or are mutually terminated or modified. The rule (Docket No. RM87-16-000) provides that if the first seller and the pipeline purchaser mutually agree to terminate a contract, or the contract has expired on its own terms, abandonment is authorized for either party upon 30 days written notice to the other party. A report must be filed with the Commission within 30 days of the date that the sales are terminated. Only pipelines with blanket transportation certificates may use the unilateral authority where the seller opposes the abandonment. In Order No. 500, the Commission also sought comments on whether similar procedures should apply to contract demand conversion from sales to transportation under 18 CFR section 284. 10. This procedure contrasts with the existing case-by-case approach which requires that an application be filed, noticed and approved before the abandonment is effective. Even in this area, large numbers of the conversion abandonments were filed in FY 1988 and should continue to be filed in FY 1989 and FY 1990 as pipelines, suppliers and their customers restructure their relationships outside those situations covered by the NOPR. Facilitating abandonment will enhance flexibility in the market with the result that the Nation's entire gas supply can be more efficiently utilized to satisfy consumer needs. 25 1643 Import/Export By order issued August 4, 1987, in Boundary Gas, Inc., et al., Docket No. CP81-108-005, et al., the Commission authorized four applications that provided service for distinct projects and rejected, without prejudice to being resubmitted when updated, 72 pending dockets. On July 24, 1987, the Commission issued a Notice Inviting Applications to Provide Gas Service to the Northeast U.S. by which potential applicants were advised of an open season for the filing of new or revised projects by December 1, 1987. A later order revised this cutoff date to January 15, 1988. Many of the applications proposing new or expanded service to the Northeast involve additional Canadian imports. The most recent development in the import area involves short-term or spot sales from Canada. Pipelines, distributors, and end-users have contracted directly or through brokers with Canadian producers. Under Order No. 500, some imported spot-market gas can move under self-implementing authority and the Commission has processed a number of applications wherein pipelines have sought Section 7 transportation authority to do so. The increased availability of Canadian natural gas at prices competitive with domestic supplies and the limited markets which can be served will engender a number of formal proceedings. These formal hearings will be the result of opposition to proposed projects by either those parties whose existing sales will be affected or by competitors for the same market. The importation of LNG from Algeria was discontinued several years ago. Distri gas Corporation has reached an interim agreement with Sonatrach, the Algerian governmental exporting authority, for the resumption of LNG deliver- ies to the Everett, Massachusetts, facilities. Distri gas Corporation now believes that this supply will be competitively priced for both existing distribution customers and large industrial uses such as electric generation and cogeneration. The first shipload of this renewed trade arrived on January 3, 1988. On March 21, 1988, FERC issued an order to Distrigas approving five ship loads of LNG to be delivered within a specified period of time. An extension of this service was approved by an order issued September 16, 1988. An application filed by Distrigas on July 15, 1988, requested authorization for a major restructuring of services to permit a broad range of flexible market-responsive LNG services to existing and new customers. All prices and rates for services will be negotiated with each customer. The Commission approved the proposal by Distrigas in its Order of December 16, 1988, but required that the resale rates be subject to caps designed to ensure they are just and reasonable and otherwise do not give Distri gas a competitive advantage over other companies serving the region. 26 1644 Curtailments Title IV of the NGPA required the Commission to restructure priorities in order to give special consideration to agricultural users necessary to meet the requirements of full food and fiber production. The requirements of the essential agricultural users, including the determination of the availability of alternative fuel, must be updated annually, even when no curtailment is anticipated. As a result of increased competition, pipelines are proposing increased service to existing customers or the addition of new customers such as those providing cogeneration, both on- and off-system. These new sales may require revision of the existing curtailment plans to reflect changes in the end-user profiles of the affected customers. In several instances, proposed revisions have met with opposition by other customers whose service may be adversely affected in the event of future curtailments. In those instances, formal hearings may be necessary. It is anticipated that increased transportation under Order No. 500 procedures with a concurrent conversion in sales obligation will engender changes in curtailment plans and a proportionate increase in filings and proceedings. Order No. 500 provides that pipeline customers may have natural gas trans- ported in lieu of the volumes traditionally purchased from a pipeline. In doing so, the customer has the option of having the contract demand volume associated with the pipeline purchases converted to transportation entitlement by a specific percentage each year. As a result of this contract demand (CD) conversion program, a pipeline's obligation to serve all or portions of a customer's market during periods of curtailment will change. Title IV of the NGPA requires that a pipeline tariff provide for the protection of certain high priority users during curtailment. As more pipeline customers choose the option of CD conversion, the affected pipelines will have to adjust their curtailment plans and/or CD levels to reflect the change in market profile and service liability. This could change the make-up of the curtailment and abandonment workload and, considering the contentious nature of curtailment proceedings in the past, could result in prolonged formal hearings in some instances.

Overall, receipts in Pipeline Certificates are estimated to increase by 50 percent from FY 1988 to FY 1990. The prior notice receipts are expected to double given the increase of open-access services performed under the blanket certificate transportation program. At the same time, completions are expected to increase by 81 percent, resulting in an overall decrease of 5 percent from the FY 1988 pending level. A number of significant cases with major policy issues or generic impact will also require review such as the Northeast Project and Mobile Bay. Exhaustive environmental work must be conducted on the Northeast Project applications during FY 1989 and FY 1990 to ensure on- time completion of these cases.

O Establish fair and equitable rates for intrastate pipelines and distribu- tion companies performing services under Section 311 of the NGPA. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: © Process all pipeline rate filings within statutory time limits. O Conduct formal proceedings expeditiously to minimize collections of unjust and unreasonable rates. Conduct formal hearings as deemed necessary to determine that gas cost flowthroughs are in accord with all regulatory and statutory require- ment S. Fully implement the final rule on the open-access transportation program to ensure that pipelines are in compliance with the requirements of Order No. 500, as amended. - O Fully implement the provisions in Order No. 493 final rule that requires pipelines to file forms, rate filings, certificate applications and tariffs by electronic media which include: -- increase use of hardware/software and computer techniques for review and analysis; and, -- provide training and resources to enable existing staff to retrieve and analyze data filed in electronic medium. Ensure that completions at least equal receipts for self-implementing transportation transactions so that no backlog develops in the pending workload despite projected heavy workload estimates. Emphasize settlements of controversial issues to the extent practical and appropriate. 30 1648 O Conduct hearings as needed on the pass through of costs for take-or-pay buyout/buydowns. O Ensure that rate refunds are timely, properly computed, and distributed. O Administer the Uniform System of Accounts and a program of financial audits. Under this program, the Commission is responsible for the regulation of approximately 150 natural gas pipelines which sell and transport gas in the interstate market. The NGA requires that the Commission ensure just and reasonable gas rates to provide interstate natural gas pipelines a fair rate of return on their investment and, at the same time, protect consumers from being charged excessive rates or from being subjected to unduly discriminatory treatment. Natural gas pipeline rates are regulated through various filings for certificated rates, rate changes, rate refunds, and PGAs. Enactment of the NGPA substantially increased the workload due to the addition of rate jurisdiction over certain intrastate pipeline transactions. The Commission was given the responsibility for ensuring that rates and charges by intrastate pipelines for transactions under Title III of the NGPA are fair and equitable. Over the past several years, competition and market forces have increasingly replaced the regulatory framework of the Commission with regard to the natural gas industry. Long-term fixed contracts are no longer the only basis for developing pipeline purchasing strategies. Whereas stability and certainty were once the standard, more risk and uncertainty now seem to characterize the operating environment of many of the pipelines under FERC jurisdiction, par- ticularly with respect to price-sensitive loads. The Commission is currently implementing new initiatives or policies that address many of the issues facing the industry to cope with this new, uncertain and competitive environ- ment, such as capacity brokering and transportation on the outer continental shelf, in addition to the natural gas data collection effort that will permit the development of an information base to monitor industry activity. On April 5, 1988, the Commission issued Order No. 493 which requires that certain forms filed by the natural gas pipeline companies be filed on elect- ronic media effective November 30, 1988. Order No. 493-A extended the imple- mentation dates for electronic data submission of other forms until April 30, 1989, and also stayed the implementation dates of electronic data submission of rate, tariff and certificate applications until October 31, 1989. This will require analysis of information requirements; the development of data- bases and models to provide information to the pipeline rates staff; the management of Energy Information Administration and contractor support requirements; and the preparation of reports for use by the Commission, staff, and the public. 31 1649 Rate Filings Staff analyzes each rate filing and certificate application to determine the rate implications upon the pipeline, its customers and, ultimately, on con- sumers. In carrying out this function, analyses are performed to determine whether the proposed rates and charges are consistent with the Commission's statutory responsibilities, policies, case precedents, and regulations affecting rates, charges, and service conditions. An increasing amount of time has been devoted to processing workload resulting from Order Nos. 436, 451 and 500. Effective October 9, 1985, the Commission established a new regulatory framework for open-access transportation by participating interstate pipelines. Pipelines that opened up their system to the proposed transportation program were granted self-implementing or blanket certificate authority for most transportation transactions after that date. Interstate pipelines that do not elect to become open-access transporters under the provisions of Order No. 436/500 nonetheless must transport to any of its customers or interconnecting pipelines any old gas released pursuant to the good faith negotiation procedures of the regulations adopted in Order No. 451. Further, the Commission issued an interim rule, Order No. 500, on August 7, 1987, that implemented interim open-access transportation regulations addressing concerns raised in a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Associated Gas Distributors v. FERC. On September 15, 1987, the Court issued its mandate vacating the original transportation program. That action allowed Order No. 500 to replace Order No. 436 as the applicable open-access transportation program to remove the uncertainty that would otherwise exist as to the appropriate transportation regulations. The take-or-pay crediting provisions and the contract demand conversion requirements of its new open-access transportation program became fully effective January 1, 1988. The Commission has issued several orders that revised the mechanism for crediting take-or-pay liabilities with trans- portation volumes. The Commission is considering all of the concerns expressed in comments on Order No. 500 and these subsequent orders in the course of promulgating a final rule. Another of the major issues the Commission is addressing is interstate gas pipeline rate design. Efficiency in the market requires that rates reflect the value of the service or commodity being sold as well as the costs. Implementing this principle may require a number of very fundamental changes in the way the Commission designs rates. Important criteria for "market-driven" rates are the following: services should be available on both an unbundled and bundled basis, so the customer has more choices; rates should be mileage-based and seasonally differentiated; projections should be eliminated or de-emphasized in the ratemaking process to avoid inaccuracies that skew rates; and full requirements, sole supplier, and dedicated territory contracts should be reviewed. In addition, the Commission will consider approving rates where competition can be relied upon to 32 1650 establish them as just and reasonable. Such use of market driven rates will be considered on a case-by-case basis when evaluating proposed rates for gas inventory charges available for customers. Commission automation has helped make this type of sophisticated analysis possible. Transportation Transactions This is a growing program which emphasizes the Commission's policy of foster- ing competition in the gas industry. Transportation has become increasingly more important to pipelines in their attempt to increase throughput in a surplus market and this mechanism has enabled natural gas to be shifted from the intrastate to the interstate market providing for a more fully integrated gas delivery system. Pipelines are permitted to transport gas in interstate commerce under self-implementing transactions. Order No. 436/500 substantially changed Commission regulation of interstate natural gas transportation to reflect the fact that the transportation role of pipelines has changed in recent years. The Commission stated in Order No. 436 that, although participation in the program was voluntary, pipelines with the intent to enter into numerous transportation arrangements on a large scale would be subject to Order No. 436. This open-access program remains consist- ent with the objectives of the Commission's regulations revised by Order No. 500. Large volumes of gas will continue to flow under these transactions. Workload levels have increased over the FY 1987 levels under Order Nos. 436 and 500 because the pipelines have made greater utilization of the self- implementing transportation transactions for expediting the marketing and transportation of gas to consumers. The more fast-paced basis of doing business will require faster identifications, analyses and resolutions of regulatory issues in order to effectively protect the public interest. In FY 1988 the pipelines reported 5,897 self-implementing transactions to the Commission, a 33 percent increase over the 4,434 transactions reported in FY 1987. Tracking Filings and PGA Reviews A large portion of the natural gas pipelines' costs are associated with the purchased gas costs of the natural gas purchased for resale. Under the NGA and the NGPA, the Commission is required to assure that purchased gas costs passed through to the pipeline's customers are just and reasonable, nondis- criminatory, and meet the affiliated entities requirements of the NGPA. In the past, natural gas pipelines were permitted to file semiannual tracking rate adjustments to reflect changes in their cost of purchased gas and other costs allowed by Commission regulations. These filings had a 30-day statutory requirement for initial action. In numerous PGA filings, customers have protested the pipelines' right to pass through incentive-priced and certain decontrolled gas costs and sought estab- lishment of evidentiary hearings to determine the extent to which the pipe- lines' shareholders should bear these costs. The Commission has instituted 33 1651 proceedings to review: (1) the "affiliated entities" and "fraud, abuse, or similar grounds" issues; and (2) the prudence of the gas purchasing practices of a pipeline, to determine if they are consistent with long-term system requirements and current market constraints. In addition, the PGA regulations, originally drafted in 1972 with only minor changes since that time, have not permitted pipelines to respond to the changing market environment in a timely manner. Therefore, the Commission, in Order No. 483, issued a final rule in Docket No. RM86-14-000 updating the PGA regulations and providing the flexibility needed by natural gas pipelines to operate in the current market environment. The major changes implemented in this final rule are: O more frequent changes in the current adjustment rate charges (four per year); - the opportunity to change rates, if done within mandated restric- tions, even more frequently (as often as daily); a fully supported and justified filing, including an annual sur- charge adjustment filed once per year instead of the current twice- a-year proceedings; O a requirement that PGA filings be submitted in an electronic media; O standardization of filing procedures by natural gas pipelines. The final regulations place great weight upon the staff review performed on the once-a-year filings to ensure that the pipelines have operated within the regulatory requirements for passing through purchased gas costs. While the filing of actual purchased gas data annually as required by Order No. 483, should reduce the number of formal cases, companies preferring to file approaches different than that proposed in Order No. 500 should offset and hold steady the number of formal cases filed through FY 1990. The Commission also examines the purchased gas costs and the propriety of these costs through a field review program, and verifies the electronically filed data to the company's records. These reviews stress verification of the actual allowable purchased gas costs recovered. On-site verification is also necessary to ensure that gas purchases are properly categorized and are billed in conformance with regulatory requirements. Results of past field reviews have indicated noncompliance by some companies and have produced significant rate reductions and refunds to customers. These changes have helped to stabilize the surcharge fluctuations and reduce the overall carrying charges for both the pipelines and their customers. 34 1652 Financial Audits - Gas Pipeline Companies The Commission, in its ratemaking and other regulatory activities relating to natural gas pipelines, has a continuing need for reliable and comparable accounting information from each regulated pipeline and the industry as a whole. This need is essentially met through the establishment and maintenance of a Uniform System of Accounts for natural gas pipelines through requirements for periodic financial reporting and through a program of financial audits of jurisdictional companies. Additionally, the accounting information is used to determine the adequacy of current rates and provides the foundation for constructing ratemaking models useful for the development of future rates. Financial audits are conducted on a cyclical basis. Approximately 60 percent of the 112 gas transmission companies subject to the Commission's accounting regulations are audited on a 3-year cycle. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Pipeline Rates o Issued Order Nos. 500-B, C, D, and E in response to concerns primarily with regard to the impact of crediting mechanism of the Commission's open-access transportation program. o Expeditiously processed all statutory filings and conducted numerous expedited litigated proceedings. O Expedited formal hearings on complex innovative rate issues such as Order No. 500 issues that parties cannot resolve through informal technical conferences. O Began implementation of the flexible PGA program that allows pipelines more market responsiveness to better reflect purchased gas costs. O Issued Order No. 483 on November 10, 1987, a final rule to restructure the PGA mechanism to allow more frequent changes in rates and requiring electronic data filing. Implemented the on-line purchased gas adjustment computer system which generates audit and analysis reports and recreates the PGA filing from the electronic data. O Drafted the NOPR in Docket No. RM88-13-000 proposing a brokering capacity program for interstate pipeline systems. Q Accepted proposals by 10 upstream pipelines (nine in FY 1988) to passthrough take-or-pay settlement costs under Order No. 500 and accepted 35 proposals by downstream pipelines (27 in FY 1988) to passthrough take- or-pay costs billed by the upstream pipelines. O Approved first gas inventory charge proposal by Transwestern Pipeline Company. 35 1653 O Approved Gas Research Institute research and development budget for a 5-year period (1988-1992). O Drafted the NOPR in Docket Nos. RM88-14-000 and RM88-15-000 requiring that Outer Continental Shelf pipelines transport gas on a nondiscrimina- tory basis under the Commission's blanket certificate program. A final rule was issued on December 9, 1988 which granted all 00S pipelines blanket transportation certificates for which tariff and rate filings must be made by March 1, 1989. Pipeline Rate Workload The workload in the Pipeline Rate program presented in Tables 5 and 6 reflects the actual as well as the anticipated impact of Order Nos. 436, 451, 483, 490, 493 and 500. The greatest numerical impact is in Transportation Transactions which are projected to increase by 12 percent, from 5,897 in FY 1988 to 6,600 in FY 1990. The workload in General Rate Filings is expected to increase by 39 percent due to the conversion of pipelines from merchants to transporters pursuant to Order No. 500, revised abandonment procedures in Order No. 490, and new filing requirements with electronic submissions in Order No. 493. Receipts and completions for Rate Change (Nonformal) were up significantly in FY 1988 due primarily to compliance filings pursuant to Order Nos. 436/500, 472, 483 and 497. This category will continue to experience the impact of certain one-time only adjustments during FY 1989 due to anticipated filings accociated with offshore pipelines providing nondiscriminatory access to transportation services, as well as additional pipeline marketing affiliates filings. Such filings will be completed by FY 1990 when receipt levels should return to normal to reflect the fact that most pipelines will have adopted the open-access transportation program under Order No. 436/500. Completions for PGA Field Reviews were down in FY 1988 due to the implementa- tion of the new electronic filing system, but will return to normal levels during FY 1989 and FY 1990. A result of the new system will be the ability to perform more indepth reviews. In the Rate Change Tracking (Formal) area, the process of converting to the new PGA provisions has resulted in a temporary downturn in FY 1988. Normal receipts and completions are expected in FY 1989 and FY 1990. Order No. 483 revised the methodology for computing refunds. The low trigger level established for disbursement is expected to produce a three-fold increase in workload in this category. Completions in all workload categories are expected to keep pace with receipts in both FY 1989 and FY 1990, thereby continuing the trend of reducing the pending workload each year so that by the end of FY 1990 pending workload will decrease by 18 percent from the FY 1988 level. 36 1654 Receipts Table 5 - Pipeline Rate Workload FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 General Rate Filings 433 600 Rate Change (Nonformal) 693 400 Rate Change (Formal) 99 70 PGA Field Reviews 11 11 Rate Change Tracking (Nonformal) 494 290 Rate Change Tracking (Formal) 2 20 Transportation 5,897 6,300 Transactions Refunds 60 200 Staff Adjustments 8 5 Financial Audits 17 19 Contested Accounting Cases 0 l Total 7,714 7,916 Table 6 - Workload Pending at End of Fiscal Year FY 1987 General Rate Filings 38 Rate Change (Nonformal) 53 Rate Change (Formal) 109 PGA Field Reviews 4 Rate Change Tracking (Nonformal) 54 Rate Change Tracking (Formal) 59 Transportation Transactions 313 Refunds 31 Staff Adjustments 3 Financial Audits 12 Contested Accounting Cases 2 Total 678 600 250 75 ll FY 1988 25 237 138 7 74 Completions FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 446 509 70 8 474 19 5,951 FY 1989 10 187 133 6 74 32 259 615 450 75 12 290 30 6,300 600 300 80 12 290 30 6,600 37 1655 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Actual Appropriation Request Producer Regulation: Operating Expenses $10,296 $ 8,654 $ 8,406 Goals of the Producer Regulation Program: © Provide adequate incentives for producers to develop and maintain a sufficient supply of natural gas at reasonable and affordable costs to COſ, SUne FS. Process new natural gas producer applications in a timely manner consis- tent with the Commission's responsibilities under the NGA and the NGPA. Ensure adequate review of sales subject to certificate filing require- ments to ensure that the proposed service is or will be required for public convenience and necessity. Ensure that prices for natural gas are established by the market to the maximum extent practicable. Ensure that prices for gas remaining under price control do not exceed the statutorily established maximum lawful prices. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: Utilize the generic abandonment approach provided by Order Nos. 451 and 490 to provide automatic authorization to abandon sales and purchases where contracts have terminated or purchasers and sellers agree on sales. Process expeditiously those applications that fall outside the scope of the automatic procedures provided by Order Nos. 451 and 490. Increase utilization of computer systems to process more efficiently producer certificate and abandonment applications and reports. Maintain and summarize reports which are filed in compliance with Order Nos. 451 and 490. Fully implement the final rule in Order No. 451, as amended, that intro- duced the good faith negotiation rule with which first sellers of natural gas must comply before collecting a higher price for their old gas under the NGA. Process all rate filings within statutory time limits. Continue to build the producer rate database for use in analyzing changes in producer contracts. 38 1656 O Ensure that only rates which conform to the NGPA rate structure are approved for collection. O Ensure that prices for gas remaining under price control do not exceed the statutorily established maximum lawful prices. O Ensure continuation of an effective NGPA well determination process and a cooperative relationship with state and Federal agencies involved in the determination process. © Werffy, through an effective field review program, that natural gas wells are properly classified and that lawful rates are being charged to protect consumers from overcharges. o Remove regulatory impediments to the operation of the natural gas markets by expanding the coverage of blanket authorizations. - Producer regulations were established in 1954 when the Supreme Court authorized the Commission's jurisdiction of the sales of gas in interstate commerce relating to the Natural Gas Act. Under these rules, the natural gas producers must file applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity authorizing certain sales and resales of gas in interstate commerce. Also, the Supreme Court decision provided for the Commission's establishment of procedures to provide for just and reasonable rates for sales of natural gas in interstate commerce. Gas producers must file, for public review, rate schedules detailing the terms, conditions, and rates for certain sales of natural gas. Thus, it is the Commission's responsibility to ensure the lawfulness of all rate changes, classification, or services provided for under the rate schedules. - Further, the NGPA established a series of statutory maximum lawful prices for all categories of natural gas sold in both the interstate and intrastate markets. The Act essentially held constant the price for gas from old wells and provided for a series of incentive prices for gas from old wells and provided for a series of incentive prices for hard-to-produce new gas. However, Order No. 451 removed the vintaging system for old gas under NGPA Sections 104 and 106. In order to collect the incentive prices under Sections 102, 103, 107, and 108, a producer is first required to obtain a determination that the gas to be sold actually qualifies for the incentive prices or for a decontrolled price. In addition to establishing maximum lawful prices, the NGPA provided for a phased schedule which, in general terms, would ultimately decontrol most new gas while retaining price controls on old gas until depletion. The first phase of the decontrol process began on November 1, 1979, at which time price controls were removed for certain high-cost gas under Section 107, most significantly the production from wells completed below 15,000 feet. Additional volumes of gas were price decontrolled on January 1, 1985. The last phase of the decontrol process occurred for production from certain shallow Section 103 wells on July 1, 1987. Approximately 40 percent of well head sales remain price controlled. 39 1657 In FY 1988, the Commission issued Order No. 497 establishing regulations for interstate pipelines having marketing affiliates. Numerous filings required by Order No. 497 were received and processed. The Commission also processed numerous certificate applications filed by affiliated and non-affiliated gas marketers. The number of such filings in the future will be determined by the final outcome of Order No. 497 and the extent to which coverage of blanket authorizations is expanded. New Service/Amendment Producers of natural gas must file for certificates of public convenience and necessity to make certain sales for resale in interstate commerce. Filings are also required to amend an existing certificate to reflect changes in service or ownership. Receipts are expected to decline as the majority of the routine or uncontested filings become automatic under the procedures provided for in Order No. 490. The mix of cases will be more of the contested type where parties cannot agree, thus requiring more staff effort through analysis, conferences, and formal hearings; however, the increase in complexity will be offset by the use of automated procedures. Small Producers An independent producer whose total "jurisdictional sales" are not in excess of 10 Bcf per annum and who is not affiliated with a major natural gas pipe- line company may file a one-time application to cover existing and future sales. Since fewer new sales are subject to the NGA and thus do not require certificate authorization, applications filed by small producers are expected to continue to decrease slightly in FY 1990. Abandonments/Termination Producers apply for abandonment authorization to cease the interstate sales of natural gas that are subject to the Commission's NGA jurisdiction. There was an increase in abandonment applications because market constraints have forced pipelines to reduce purchases of available gas. This has encouraged producers to seek alternative markets for their gas. High receipts in FY 1988 showed the continuing restructuring of the natural gas industry and an initial reluctance of producers to avail themselves immediately of the automatic abandonment authorization provided through the good faith negotiation proce- dures under Order No. 451. Instead, many are electing to file individual abandonment applications. However, such applications will no longer be required under Order No. 490. The Commission's new rule in Order No. 490 will significantly affect the number of abandonment applications received. On February 5, 1988, the Commission issued its new rule on abandonments which provides automatic abandonment of sales or purchases where contracts have expired, been mutually modified, or are terminated. The order also grants blanket sales authority for resale of the abandoned gas. Furthermore, pipelines that have accepted blanket certificates under section 284.221 of the Commission's regulations would be granted the right to abandon unilaterally pu: chases under expired 40 1658 contracts. Abandonment applications are no longer required for cases meeting these criteria. This will reduce the number of applications received in FY 1989 and in FY 1990. The applications received will be proportionally more of those where the parties do not agree on the abandonment. Thus, while there will be comparatively little time required for routine self-implementing abandonments, efforts will still be required to handle the contested cases. Rate Filings Producer rate regulation was established for sales of gas in interstate commerce by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1954 relating to the NGA. This decision resulted in the Commission's establishing procedures to provide just and reasonable rates for sales of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce and for the filing of rate schedules detailing the terms, conditions, and rates for each sale of natural gas. Section 4 of the NGA provides that such rate schedules and changes to them be filed with the Commission and be kept open for public inspection. It is the responsibility of the Commission to determi fie the lawfulness of all rates, changes, classification, or service provided under a rate schedule. Since the passage of the NGPA, evaluation of filed rate changes has been limited to verifying contractual authority to charge the new rate and determining that the rate is not higher than that permitted for the sale by the NGPA. On June 6, 1986, the Commission issued Order No. 451 establishing a new ceiling price for so-called "old gas" still subject to the Commission's regulation under Sections 104 and 106 of the NGPA and Section 4 of the NGA. Order No. 451 has caused an increase in filings as producers and buyers use the rule as a framework for voluntary renegotiation of old gas prices and the voluntary release of surplus gas. This increase should be temporary and workload should return to normal in FY 1990. The renegotiated contracts that producers filed with the Commission amend many of the provisions of the old . contracts. This requires that staff coordinate with the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to collect industry data to perform detailed analyses needed to closely monitor the effects of Order No. 451. Because of the consumer protection included in Order No. 451, no unreasonable consumer price increases are expected over the short term. Lower overall consumer prices are anticipated in response to competitive well head markets and enhanced recovery of old gas supplies over the long run. Special Producer Rates This category covers two general types of filings--those concerning production-related costs and special relief petitions. Production-related costs filings fall into two types. They are (1) those acted on by the Production-Related Cost Board, subject to Commission review, and (2) filings requesting collection of production-related cost allowances exceeding the generic allowances established by the Commission. Regarding this type, due to the current abundance of natural gas supplies, few cases are expected in the future because buyers will be unwilling to pay sellers more than the generic allowances. The first type includes the bulk of the current casework and concerns review of data supplied by producers to pipelines in support of production-related costs contained in pipeline rate cases. 41 1659 Staff Adjustments Under Section 502(c) of the NGPA, the Commission established procedures for the filing of staff adjustments to prevent special hardship, inequity, or unfair distribution of burdens in the Commission's administration of the NGPA. Processing action is required within 150 days. Staff also review and analyze requests for adjustments related to Section 110 regulations which provide for an add-on to the maximum lawful price for production-related costs where the producer claims costs in excess of the generic allowances within the prescribed standards. Jurisdictional Agency Determinations Under the NGPA, the 33 state or Federal jurisdictional agencies review applications containing geological and engineering information and production records to determine if the gas produced by a particular well satisfied the statutory criteria for the incentive pricing category requested by a producer. The Commission is then notified of the determination for each application and notice of receipt is given to the public. The Commission has the authority to reverse a jurisdictional agency's finding or remand it for further considera- tion. However, the FERC review process is controlled by a 45-day statutory limit. Any determination not tolled, reversed, or remanded by the FERC within the 45-day period automatically becomes effective unless and until the determination is reopened and vacated because of reliance on an untrue or incomplete statement of fact. Since passage of the NGPA in 1978, the Commis- sion has processed more than 425,000 determinations. Field Reviews The FERC has the responsibility to ensure that natural gas producers are adhering to the well category determination and pricing provisions of the NGPA to protect consumers from overcharges. Under the NGPA regulations, reporting burdens are kept to a minimum and much of the compliance is accomplished through review of gas producing company records and pipeline transaction files. This responsibility is carried out through a program which includes the field review of approximately 2 to 4 percent of the jurisdictional agency determinations filed each year as well as pricing investigations to ensure that producers are not charging unlawful rates. Pricing investigations are based on a sampling process which includes sales under each of the eight general pricing categories of the NGPA. The importance of the investigations continues under phased decontrol in order to ensure that sales claimed to be decontrolled are not subject to ceiling prices and that sales of natural gas dedicated to the interstate market under the NGA § not been improperly qualified for incentive price categories under the A. 42 1660 Through the field review program, the Commission verifies that proper rates are being charged, and protects consumers from overcharges. The program is designed to minimize regulatory burden and place maximum reliance on the good faith compliance of the natural gas companies. As of October 1, 1988, field and inhouse reviews have resulted in refunds total ling more than $73 million. Producer Refunds The NGPA allows sellers of natural gas to collect certain ceiling prices on an interim basis pending a final well category determination. If a well is determined not to qualify, or if an application for a well category determina- tion is withdrawn, refund of the interim collections is required. Refunds are also required where field review or other Commission orders indicate that prices in excess of the maximum lawful amount were collected. To ensure that refunds are made to the consumer, the Commission monitors all actions which could generate a potential refund obligation and follows up to ensure that refunds are made. This is accomplished through a computer-based refund tracking system which contains significant information on all events that could result in overcharges and create producer refund obligations. Due to a court-mandated change in the method of Btu measurement required for all NGPA sales, over $1 billion has been refunded by producers to pipelines. In turn, the pipelines pass these dollars through to their customers. The initial reports filed by the pipelines involved indicate that approximately $171 million, inclusive of royalty refund obligations, owed as a result of approximately 5, 200 producer refund obligations, had yet to be refunded. As of October 1, 1988, the outstanding Btu refund obligations had been reduced to approximately $43 million in 1,605 pending cases. In addition to the Btu refunds, over $250 million in NGPA refunds has been reported to the Commission as of October 1, 1988. - * - Automation of the refund data in FY 1987 has enabled staff to respond more quickly in processing refund actions so that the refund workload will be on a current basis in FY 1990. In FY 1987, the first year in which the computer- ized refund tracking system was operational, pending workload in the refund area declined by 55 percent from more than 10,000 to less than 5,000 cases. The pending workload will be reduced to a working level of about 1, 100 cases by FY 1990. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Producer Regulation O Extended producer limited-term abandonment and certificate authorizations (LTA) for the lesser of one year (until March 31, 1989) or until the producer or its purchaser exercises its rights under Order No. 490. These authorizations permit producers to continue sales of released gas in the spot market until they are covered by Order No. 490. Issued new and extended expiring pipeline LTA's on behalf of producer suppliers for a period up to one year consistent with Commission policy. 43 1661 o Extended marketer blanket certificates until March 31, 1989, for marketers affiliated with interstate pipelines and for an unlimited term for nonaffiliated marketers. These authorizations permit marketers to resell gas in the spot market. O Instituted a system to compile and summarize data contained in the Order No. 451 annual reports. O Implemented a procedure to handle 30-day reports of abandoned sales filed under Sections 157.21(d) and 157.30(e) promulgated by Order No. 490. O Dismissed applications which became unnecessary once Order No. 490 took effect. Achieved settlement of major take-or-pay buyouts involving significant producer abandonments and blanket limited-term certificates for sales and/or transportation through numerous informal technical conferences, thus avoiding formal hearings. Successful implementation of the well head pricing provisions of the NGPA and the phased decontrol that occurred on January 1, 1985, and on July 1, 1987. Successful field review program which has resulted in total refunds as of October 1, 1988, of over $73 million. O Ensured the flowthrough of over $250 million to date in NGPA refunds. Reduction of pending workload in the refund area by almost 40 percent. O Issued final rule (RM88-10-000) to revise the definition for natural gas produced from Devonian Shale. Processed all pending cases regarding the relationship of NGPA Title I to take-or-pay payments. Producer Requlation Workload The pending workload in the Producer Regulation program as shown in Table 8 projects a decrease of 36 percent from FY 1988 to the end of FY 1990. Total receipts and completions, as shown in Table 7, are expected to decline from the FY 1988 level. The most dramatic decreases in workload are reflected in four categories--abandonments/termination (56 percent) and new service (19 percent), reflecting the anticipated impact of blanket abandonment and Certificate procedures provided by Order No. 490, determination reviews (49 percent), and pricing investigations (60 percent), as the number of determinations filed falls from the high levels of prior years. 44 1662 Under Order No. 490, producers receiving automatic abandonment must file reports to the Commission within 30 days of the abandonment. Also, Order Nos. 451 and 490 require annual reports, detailing sales initiated under the blanket certificate procedures provided by those orders. Issuance of these orders resulted in a large reduction in the amount of staff needed to review producer workload as the type of filings required need less analysis.

O Ensure that licensed projects are best adapted to the comprehensive development of the Nation's waterways. O Ensure that environmental concerns are adequately addressed before licenses and exemptions for hydroelectric projects are issued. G Bring electric power generation from renewable resources on line in the shortest possible time and in compliance with applicable laws and Commis- sion regulations. © Ensure that licensees, potential applicants, and Federal and state agencies are informed of the Commission's existing and proposed relicensing regulations. o Ensure that licensed and exempted projects are inspected in the construction, operation, and maintenance phases for the protection of life, health, property, and the environment. O Ensure compliance with the requirements of licenses, exemptions, and preliminary permits. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Maintain level of project supervision to ensure an adequate dam safety inspection program. o Improve ability to ensure full compliance with the terms and conditions stated in each license, exemption, and preliminary permit issued by the Commission. Give high priority to licensing projects proposing new generating capacity. Minimize regulatory burdens on applicants and licensees and streamline procedures for processing of applications. The Commission's Hydropower Regulation program consists of three main elements: project licensing, compliance, and dam safety inspection. A hydropower project can include multiple developments, each of which may contain a dam, reservoir, powerhouse or other facilities. The Hydropower Regulation program encompasses more than 1,760 hydropower projects, including both licensed and exempted projects, which represent over one-half of the Nation's hydroelectric energy generation. Hydroelectric projects supply 47 1665 about 12 percent of the electric energy generated in the United States. The development of hydroelectric power is consistent with achieving the goals of energy self-sufficiency and protecting against future escalation in oil prices. The number of applications for new capacity hydroelectric projects and new capacity amendments to existing licenses peaked in FY 1985. Receipts in these two important workload areas have declined dramatically since the expiration of energy tax credits on December 31, 1985. While receipts for projects involving new capacity are expected to remain at relatively low levels through FY 1990, the applications remaining before the Commission in those two workload areas involve complex engineering, environmental and legal issues, and require a high level of staff effort to process workload and comply with the mandates of the Electric Consumers Protection Act (ECPA). Furthermore, a high level of staff effort will be required to process applications for relicense filed before and during FY 1990. Offsetting the decline in applications in certain key areas of the Hydropower program are new compliance mandates and initiatives. The very large number of licenses issued in the past several years will result in significantly increased workload in the processing of license amendments and license compliance activities. New program emphasis has been placed on ensuring compliance with Commission orders and regulations, and efforts are underway to compile compliance histories and to implement the penalty provisions provided for by ECPA in cases of noncompliance. As a consequence of these workload trends, resources are being real located from certain prelicensing reviews to post-licensing activities. The Commission will initiate and complete 205 inspections in FY 1989 and FY 1990 to monitor compliance. The administration of licenses in effect in FY 1990 will require a major effort on the part of the Commission in compliance-related activities. . Dam safety inspections is the third component of the Commission's Hydropower Regulation program. Dam inspections monitor the adherence of Commission licensees to all applicable safety requirements during the construction and operation of a project. Under the authority of Section 10(c) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission has responsibility for the inspection of more than 2,200 dams, an increase of 200 dams from the FY 1987 inventory and the resultant increased number of inspections required. In FY 1988, the Commis- sion completed 1,932 inspections and expects to complete 2,045 in FY 1989, and 2,052 in FY 1990 to meet its obligations to ensure the protection of life, health, property, and the environment. Management Initiatives The Commission has initiated a number of improvements to make the processing of hydropower applications, the tracking of compliance requirements, and the maintenance of dam safety more efficient. Effects of these improvements will be carried forward into each new fiscal year and greater emphasis is being placed on the development and implementation of new ideas for improving the Commission's productivity. The following items represent FY 1988 management initiatives: 48 1666 o Reorganized the Office of Hydropower Licensing to provide the resources and structure necessary to accomplish the broad range of licensing, compliance, and dam safety responsibilities. Established a separate Project Compliance and Administration Division to handle compliance matters and to serve as a focal point for the administration of compliance activities. O Initiated a major outreach program in anticipation of the filing of large numbers of relicense applications in the early 1990's. This program will explain ECPA's requirements to prospective relicense applicants and resource agencies, will assist in the resolution of questions related to study requirements, and should result in the filing of better applica- tions for relicensing. • O Transferred the Hydropower License Compliance Tracking System to FERC's computer, and initiated efforts to provide better management information reporting capabilities from the system and the ability to develop compliance histories. O Developed new procedures and staff guidance related to compliance workload to facilitate the management of a growing component on the hydropower workload. O Continued to eliminate various levels of Commission staff review by delegating additional decisionmaking down to the lowest reasonable level. More authority and responsibility have been given to first-line management. * . Improved productivity by more fully utilizing private sector firms for technical support. - © Retained two internationally known engineering consultants to advise the Commission's staff on dam safety problems of special and critical nature. O Coordinated with all major Federal and state agencies by requesting their input on problem areas and inviting their participation in FERC project inspections. O Published updated FERC Engineering Guidelines. The guidelines will promote more efficient and consistent resolution of dam safety problems. FY 1990 Resource Requirements The Commission is requesting $31,707,000 and 437 FTE's for the Hydropower Regulation program in FY 1990, an increase of $3,317,000 from FY 1989 and an increase of 4 FTE's. The increase in funding is due to the automated office support system, increased employee benefits, additional funding for environmental activities, and this program's share of fixed cost increases. 49 1667 The requested staffing level in FY 1990 recognizes the changing character- istics of the Commission's hydropower workload: declining numbers of applications for preliminary permits, exemptions, and new capacity licenses; an increase in staff time required to process complex applications and more detailed analyses required to make licensing recommendations; many more applications requiring the preparation of environmental impact statements; significant increases in compliance-type workload resulting from recently issued licenses; outreach requirements in preparation for relicense filings in coming years; and, changes in the mix of dam safety inspections because of the large number of projects going into operation. In short, the FY 1990 staffing level is appropriate for a program in transition, one moving away from the emphasis on new capacity filings in the early 1980's, through the current and growing need for compliance and inspections related to the approval of many of those filings, and toward a time in which relicense applications will once again change the makeup of the hydropower workload. The resources requested will allow the Commission to complete its implementa- tion of ECPA requirements in processing hydropower applications. While the number of applications related to initial licensing will continue to decline, staff efforts will be devoted to performing the complex analyses required by ECPA so that the Commission can balance developmental and non-developmental interests in reaching its licensing decisions. Contract funds are requested to supplement staff efforts to conduct environmental analyses. A portion of these contract funds will also be used to address significant cumulative impact issues that go beyond those that can be routinely considered as part of the application review process. The requested staff resources will also ensure that the Commission has the requisite professional staff to perform the full range of ECPA analyses, including assessments of comprehensive plans, evaluations of applicants' plans and abilities for proposed projects, identification of required enhancement and protection of environmental and other nonpower resources, and negotiations with state and Federal agencies to resolve environmental recommendation differences. At the requested FY 1990 staffing level, the Commission also will be able to continue new initiatives in keeping with the changing nature of the Hydro- power program. Staff will be dedicated to a proactive outreach program to work with prospective relicense applicants and resource agencies to explain the Commission's relicensing requirements and to assist in the preparation of new license applications. Staff's interaction with applicants and resource agencies should improve the quality of the many applications that must be filed with the Commission throughout the 1990's, with commensurate improve- ments in the eventual processing time of these applications. At the same time, contract funds will assist staff in making jurisdictional determina- tions, another program element that could result in increased licensing activity in future years. Bringing jurisdictional projects under license will help to ensure greater public safety and increased protection for environ- mental resources at presently unlicensed hydropower sites. 50 1668 In recognition of the growing importance of a strong, consistent, and equitable compliance function, the Commission has established an independent compliance structure within the Office of Hydropower Licensing. At the requested funding and staffing level, the Commission will be able to expand its compliance workload activities, improve staff procedures and written guidance for compliance actions, process complaints more efficiently, expand its computerized systems for monitoring compliance and tracking violations, and recommend appropriate penalties for various levels and patterns of noncompliance exhibited by licensees and exemptees. All of these initiatives respond to the changing circumstances and problems caused by the growth, both in number and complexity, of terms and conditions contained in Commission licenses and exemptions, and they recognize that compliance work will continue to be the fastest growing part of hydropower workload in the years ahead. At the same time, such initiatives also more fully utilize the administrative tools provided for in ECPA in order to ensure compliance with the Commission's orders and regulations. Finally, the budget request will permit the Commission to maintain the effectiveness of its dam safety program. The number of inspections, which is directly related to licensing activity, has grown rapidly in recent years, and is projected to continue increasing. Resources will be targeted to accomplish all of the required dam safety inspection activities. In addition, the Commission plans to require that licensees perform more full-scale tests of emergency action plans to check the adequacy of their procedures. The cost of the Commission's Hydropower Regulation program is completely offset through the collection of annual charges from project licensees in accordance with Section 10(e) of the FPA. As stipulated in its regulations, the Commission assesses annual charges based on licensed operating capacity. The FPA also authorizes the Commission to collect annual charges from a licensee for the use of Federal dams and lands. Beginning in FY 1988, the Commission also began to collect fees from applicants for 5 MW exemptions to cover the cost of processing these types of applications. In addition, in FY 1990, the Commission plans to collect $9.5 million in headwater benefits payments for deposit to the United States Treasury. A summary of workload for the three components of the Hydropower Regulation program is provided below. Projected receipts and completions from FY 1988 through FY 1990 are shown in Table 9. Pending workload is shown in Table 10. 51 1669 Table 9 - Total Hydropower Requlation Workload Receipts Completions FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Hydropower Licensing 423 431 430 569 511 475 Dam Safety Inspections 1,932 2,045 2,052 1,932 2,045 2,052 Compliance and Admini stration 1,493 2,076 2, 166 1,453 1,976 2, 167 Total 3,848 4,552 4,648 3,954 4,532 4,694 Table 10 - Workload Pending at End of Fiscal Year FY 1987 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Hydropower Licensing 57.1 425 345 300 Dam Safety Inspections 0 0 O 0 Compliance and - Administration 235 275 . 535 1/ 534 Total 806 700 880 834 1/ Pending workload adjusted by 160 at the start of FY 1989; see Table 15 on page 75. 52 1670 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Actual Appropriation Request Hydropower Licensing: Operating Expenses $13,673 $13,475 $15,463 Goals of the Hydropower Licensing Program: Ensure that licensed projects are best adapted to the comprehensive development of the Nation's waterways. Ensure that environmental concerns are fully addressed and reconciled before authorizing development of a hydroelectric project. Bring electric power generation capacity on-line in the shortest possible time. - Ensure that licensees, potential applicants, and Federal and state agencies are informed of the Commission's existing and proposed relicensing regulations. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Expedite processing of preliminary permits, exemptions, and new capacity licenses, consistent with a full examination of safety and environmental issues. - Streamline processing of applications and review information requirements to reduce regulatory burden. Give high priority to new capacity license applications. Issue licenses and major amendments authorizing the construction of approximately 600 MW of new capacity. This renewable resource repre- sents a potential savings of approximately 4 million barrels of oil annually. Expand the scope of the relicensing outreach program, hold additional meetings with licensees, potential applicants, and resource agencies, and develop procedural documents to ensure the preparation of complete applications for new licenses. Resolve disputes between agencies and potential applicants regarding the types of studies needed to prepare new license applications. 53 1671 Program Description The Commission regulates the development of nonfederal hydroelectric projects that are subject to Congress' Commerce Clause and Property Clause jurisdic- tion. These projects comprise about half of the Nation's developed hydro- electric power capacity. Overall, hydroelectric projects supply about 12 percent of the electric energy generated in the United States. The Commission has the exclusive jurisdiction to authorize nonfederal hydro- electric projects that: O are on navigable waters of the United States; © are on nonnavigable waters over which Congress has Commerce Clause jurisdiction, were constructed after 1935, and affect interstate or foreign commerce; O are on the public lands or reservations of the United States (excluding national parks and monuments); or O utilize the surplus water or water power from any Federal dam. The Commission issues three forms of authorization to U.S. citizens, domestic corporations, states, and municipalities with respect to hydroelectric development: preliminary permits, licenses, and exemptions from licensing. These, along with other major program areas, are discussed below. Preliminary Permit A permit, issued for a term of up to 3 years, maintains priority of application (i.e., guaranteed first-to-file status) for license while the permittee studies the site and makes the financial arrangements necessary to apply for a license. A permit does not authorize any project construction. Obtaining a permit is not a prerequisite to applying for or receiving a license or exemption for the site. License A license is issued for up to a statutory maximum of 50 years, and cannot be unilaterally altered or terminated. Licenses are to be issued for projects that, in the Commission's judgment, will be best adapted to a comprehensive plan for improving or developing a waterway for beneficial public purposes. A licensee pays the Government an annual charge for the Commission's cost of administering Part I of the Federal Power Act (FPA), and additional annual charges for any project use of U.S. lands or reservations, Federal facilities, or water power benefits from upstream Federal projects. As part of its licensing program, the Commission carries out a number of functions related to the ultimate construction and operation of hydroelectric projects. These licensing functions include: (1) engineering analysis of the 54 1672 design and safety aspects of project structures to include a prelicense inspection; (2) analysis of economic benefits and financial feasibility of the proposed project; and (3) environmental analysis of project effects. The majority of hydroelectric licensing matters are disposed of on the basis of a written record by order of the Commission or by order under delegated authority, although some cases may require a hearing before an administrative law judge before a licensing decision is made. Exemption The Commission is empowered to exempt from some or all of the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA certain categories of hydroelectric pro- jects: © hydroelectric facilities under 15 MW (for nonmunicipalities) and 40 MW (for municipalities) using a manmade conduit operated primarily for nonhydroelectric purposes ("conduit exemptions"); © hydroelectric power projects of 5 MW or less using an existing dam or natural water feature ("5 MW exemptions"). Both types of exemption are subject to the mandatory conditioning authority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and comparable state agencies with respect to the mitigation of project impacts on fish and wildlife resources. An exemption is not deregulation; it is a less comprehensive form of regula- tion designed for projects with minor potential for adverse environmental impacts. There is no statutory maximum term for exemptions; the Commission issues them in perpetuity. In contrast with a license, an exemption does not confer the Federal power of eminent domain. The Commission has therefore chosen to require an exemption applicant to own the necessary land. Where a project would occupy U. S. lands or reservations, an exemption applicant must obtain a use permit from the appropriate Federal land managing agency. Environmental Studies The Commission's staff prepares independent analyses in the form of environ- mental assessments (EA) and environmental impact statements (EIS) under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), when processing applications for license, amendment of license involving new capacity, and exemptions. Staff reviews the applications, obtains additional information, if necessary, issues a public notice of the application, receives comments from agencies and other entities, and then prepares the environmental docu- ment. Approximately 1 to 3 months are needed to prepare an EA; an EIS may take 15 to 24 months to complete. The EIS process is more complex than the EA process and generally includes field inspections, public meetings, technical sessions, and scoping documents. The preparation time varies depending on the number and complexity of the issues, the extent of interaction with resource agencies, and the staff resources required. 55 1673 More than 150 projected completions in FY 1990 will require the preparation of NEPA documents. Of these, a higher percentage than in the recent past will require the preparation of an EIS because of the number and complexity of the environmental issues associated with these projects. These EIS's will be completed on individual projects and on groupings of several projects within defined river basin areas. In addition, two basin EIS's and eight individual EIS's will be completed in FY 1990. Staff's effort will be supplemented by contractual support to complete the EIS's in a timely manner. Another initiative requires staff to conduct indepth analyses of comprehensive plans prepared by state or Federal agencies under Section 10(a) of the FPA, as amended by ECPA. This effort will involve more staff time in evaluating the plans and considering the potential impacts of the pending projects on the resources discussed in the plans. - Section 10(j) of the FPA, as amended by ECPA, requires the Commission to negotiate with fish and wildlife agencies when agreement cannot be reached on agency recommendations for mitigative, protective, and enhancement measures. Because of the increase in controversial issues associated with the con- struction of hydroelectric projects, the 10(j) requirement will continue to impact staff resources in FY 1990. Electric Consumers Protection Act Implementation Congress passed ECPA on October 16, 1986, effecting significant changes to the FPA. The Commission has undertaken rulemaking efforts to establish procedures and guidance for carrying out specific requirements of the legislation and is now in the final stages of ensuring that the requirements of ECPA are fully integrated into the Hydropower Licensing program. The Commission issued Order No. 480 (RM87-32-000) on September 30, 1987, implementing Section 14 of ECPA, which required that applicants for initial licenses make a good faith effort to notify certain property owners and government entities of the filing of their applications. On April 28, 1988, the Commission issued Order No. 496 (RM87-7-000), which made final the requirements previously adopted in an interim rule issued March 30, 1987, to implement certain requirements added by ECPA to Section 15(b) of the FPA. These requirements govern the manner and timing of licensee notification of intent to apply for a new license and the information that a licensee must make reasonably available to the public upon notifying the Commission of its intention. In Order No. 481 (RM87-36-000), issued on October 20, 1987, the Commission stated its interpretation of state and Federal "comprehensive plans" under Section 3(b)(4) of ECPA and established guidelines for developing such plans. Section 3(b)(4) of ECPA amended Section 10(a) of the FPA to require the Commission to consider, in issuing a hydroelectric license, the extent to which the proposed project is consistent with an existing state or Federal comprehensive plan for "improving, developing, or conserving a waterway or 56 1674 waterways affected by the project." After considering numerous requests for rehearing of this rule, the Commission revised the definition of "comprehen- sive plans" in Order No. 481-A (RM87-36-001), issued on April 27, 1988. Implementation of this regulation will require additional staff to review plans to determine whether they qualify as "comprehensive" under the revised definition. Order No. 487 (RM87-6-000), issued December 16, 1987, established procedures for assessing and collecting fees from certain hydroelectric license or exemption applicants to reimburse fish and wildlife agencies for their costs in setting mandatory terms and conditions for those projects. This rule implemented Section 7(c) of ECPA, which added a new Section 30(e) to the FPA, requiring establishment of such fees. On July 11, 1988, the Commission issued Order No. 499 (RM87-13-000) to imple- ment Section 8 of ECPA, which added a new section 210(j) to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). Section 210(j) established three new environmental requirements that a hydroelectric project located at a new dam or diversion must satisfy before it can qualify for PURPA benefits. In addition, Section 210(j) imposed a moratorium on the availability of PURPA benefits for such projects to allow Congress time to evaluate whether PURPA benefits should continue to be extended to projects that create new dams or diversions of water. Order No. 499 also terminated an interim rule (RM87-8- 000) adopted by the Commission February 13, 1987, concerning certain exceptions from one or more of the new environmental standards imposed by Section 210(j) of PURPA. Order No. 499 adopted the interim regulations as part of the final rule. The Commission issued Order No. 502 (RM87–24-000) on August 17, 1988, to implement Section 12 of ECPA, which amended the FPA to add a new Section 31. That section provided in part for the assessment by the Commission of civil penalties for violation of or failure to comply with a rule or regulation issued under Part I of the FPA, any term or condition of a license, permit, or exemption issued under Part I, or a compliance order. The regulations identify those persons subject to penalties and those violations which warrant imposition of penalties and establish procedures for Commission notice of a proposed penalty and for imposition and collection of penalties. Finally, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (RM87-33-000) on May 24, 1988, proposing to revise its regulations governing the relicensing of hydroelectric power projects to implement certain provisions added to the FPA by ECPA. The proposed changes include revised requirements for an appli- cation for a new license, a process for prefiling consultation by potential applicants with resource agencies, new standards and factors for Commission evaluation of relicense applications, and other procedural provisions. Numerous comments were received and are currently being reviewed. The Commis- sion also established a reply comment period that ended on October 11, 1988. Analysis of the comments received and preparation of the final rule are underway. - 57 1675 In addition to participating in the formulation, review, and application of ECPA rules, staff has been gathering the additional information and formulat- ing the analyses required for making findings on relicense cases as required by Section 15(a)(2)(A) through (G) of the amended FPA. The new findings require the Commission to consider, in writing, several aspects related to the plans and abilities of the applicant. These findings include: (1) consider- ation of project safety; (2) the efficiency and reliability of the electric service; (3) the long- and short-term need for power; and, (4) the degree to which the applicant's plans are cost effective. The nature of these determinations requires additional work by experienced staff members with specialized backgrounds in dam safety, system operation, economics, power planning, and power transmission. º Staff is coordinating with state public utility commissions and reviewing applicants' energy conservation programs in order to make findings pursuant to Section 3 of ECPA. Section 10(a)(2)(A) of the FPA requires the Commission to consider the extent to which a project is consistent with comprehensive plans for a waterway prepared by an agency established pursuant to Federal or state law. Following the issuance of Order 481-A, revising the definition of "comprehensive plans," staff has again requested that all state governors and Federal planning agencies file copies of any plans that they consider comprehensive in accordance with the Commission's definition. Staff will review the plans to determine which qualify as comprehensive under Section 10(a)(2)(A) and all plans, whether they are comprehensive or not, will be considered by the Commission in making its findings on comprehensive development pursuant to Section 10(a)(1). - ECPA requires greater coordination between the Commission and other Federal resource management agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Staff has initiated discussions with these and other Federal agencies so that issues can be addressed more efficiently and on a more timely basis. Memoranda of understanding are being sought with these and other Federal agencies that will increase the interaction of Commission staff and their counterparts. This enhanced coordination will, however, require additional staff time. The resolution process mandated by Section 10(j) of the FPA, as amended, is being implemented on a case-by-case basis. Implementation of Section 10(j) includes the following process: (1) identifying inconsistencies between agency recommendations and staff conclusions; (2) documenting these incon- Sistencies and requesting agency positions; (3) assessing the agency positions for potential negotiation; (4) negotiating the positions in an attempt to resolve differences; and, (5) assessing the consistency of final positions in relation to the FPA and other applicable laws. Commission staff is also reviewing each license proceeding to ensure com- pliance with the antitrust requirements of Section 10(h) of the amended FPA. 58 1676 All of the above initiatives are of a continuing nature. Significant staff resources were expended on these tasks in FY 1988 and they will continue to be in the future. When final rules are promulgated for those ECPA rulemakings still pending, those regulations will have to be implemented expeditiously and effectively. Relicensin The Commission has begun to review the upcoming relicensing workload and evaluate its impact on the hydropower program in order to develop and implement an overall management strategy. Between the years 1989 and 2000, over 260 licenses will expire. Of this total, approximately 170 relicense applications (or 65 percent) are expected to be filed in FY 1992. A new relicensing outreach program was established in FY 1988 to smooth the way toward the influx of relicensing applications. The Commission also issued an NOPR on hydroelectric relicensing regulations (RM87-33-000) on May 24, 1988. As part of a major reorganization within the Commission's Office of Hydropower Licensing in February 1988, a new Planning and Support Branch was formed to coordinate assistance to prospective relicense applicants and the Federal, state, and local resource agencies in understanding the new relicensing requirements. They will continue to hold relicensing outreach meetings and work closely with resource agencies to ensure that the relicensing regulations are understood. This staff effort is focusing on areas where large numbers of licenses are expiring in the next 5 years. A relicensing handbook is being prepared to aid prospective applicants and will be issued in FY 1989. In addition to explaining and interpreting the new relicense regulations, staff will also be involved in resolving disputes that may arise between relicense applicants and agencies prior to the relicense application filing. With approximately 170 relicense applications due to be filed in FY 1992, staff time devoted to this prefiling coordination will increase steadily from FY 1988 into FY 1991. Additional staff resources will also be required in FY 1990 to settle mitigation disputes that arise after the relicense applications have been filed. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Hydropower Licensing In addition to the many significant management initiatives implemented by the Commission, the following accomplishments were realized in FY 1988: O Issued 65 licenses authorizing new capacity, saving the equivalent of 2.5 million barrels of oil annually. © Issued a series of rulemakings implementing the provisions of the Electric Consumers Protection Act. Issued the final cumulative environmental impact statement for the Ohio River Basin. 59 1677 O Conducted meetings with prospective applicants and resource agency personnel in Michigan, New York, Maine, and California to discuss ECPA's requirements and the filing of relicense applications. O Issued a final rulemaking (Order No. 487) that establishes procedures for collecting fees and reimbursing review costs to fish and wildlife agencies. Hydropower Licensing Workload Four major workload areas constitute the highest priority in the Hydropower Licensing program -- new capacity licenses, new capacity amendments to licenses, preliminary permits, and exemptions from licensing. The number of applications for license for new capacity projects and new capacity amendments to licenses peaked in FY 1985. Since that time, receipts in these workload categories have declined significantly, especially following the expiration of energy tax credits at the end of calendar year 1985. A total of 67 new capacity license applications are expected to be filed in both FY 1989 and FY 1990. Pending workload in new capacity applications is decreasing. Much of this decrease is attributable to a decline in filings and to staff efforts to complete the processing of new capacity cases. Many of the remaining cases, however, still involve complex engineering and environmental issues that demand extensive staff analyses. These complex new capacity applications also require preparation of comprehensive environmental documents that consider all aspects of the impacts associated with approval of an application. In FY 1990, pending workload for new capacity projects will be 118, or 45 percent less than in FY 1988. In order to achieve this pending number, a total of 119 º capacity completions will take place in FY 1989 and 112 will occur in 1990, Workload for preliminary permits and exemptions from licensing will remain about constant between FY 1988 and FY 1990. Only marginally higher numbers of applications are anticipated in both categories and completions should generally keep pace with expected receipts. Overall, pending workload in permits will remain steady at 76 during this period. For exemptions, only 22 applications will be pending by the close of FY 1990, a 40 percent decrease from FY 1987 levels. The decline in overall pending numbers will be offset to some extent by the need for more indepth environmental, engineering, and economic reviews required by ECPA's provisions. These more detailed analyses tend to extend processing times, and to require greater interaction with applicants and resource agencies to resolve potential problems. This is particularly true as related to recommendations submitted by state and Federal fish and wildlife agencies, because ECPA stipulates staff negotiations in cases of disagreements over proposed mitigation measures. At the same time, the Commission will be 60 1678 utilizing private contractor support to assist with the preparation of environmental documents. Lastly, a greater percentage of staff resources will be devoted to the relicensing outreach program that will not directly contribute to license completions in FY 1990, but will return great benefits in future years. The overall workload of the Hydropower Licensing program is shown in the following tables.

O Ensure compliance with the terms and conditions in each license and exemption related to dam safety. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Conduct more than 2,000 planned operation, construction, prelicense, exemption, and special inspections. O Ensure the overall supervision of licenses for compliance with the terms and conditions in each license and applicable regulations related to dam safety. - Require the performance of more full-scale emergency action plan tests. These tests would involve state and local agencies in an effort to verify that those entities are able to respond effectively in an emergency. © Publish additional chapters for the Engineering Guidelines dealing with foundations and arch dams. The Commission is responsible for the inspection of 2,200 dams, an increase of 1,300 from 1977. The Dam Safety Inspection program ensures that licensed and exempted projects are constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance with approved plans, sound engineering practices, and the terms and conditions of their licenses or exemptions. Over two-thirds of these dams are more than 50 years old. As dams age, it is extremely important to be more vigilant of dam safety. To ensure that the structural integrity of any dam is maintained, a periodic inspection program is important in identifying necessary maintenance and remedial modifications. It is equally critical that projects be inspected during construction to ensure that the project as actually built is consistent with the design. Historically, failures of dams mcst likely occur: (1) during the early years of operation due to faulty construction, inadequate design, or foundation problems that were not properly identified; or (2) when a dam has been in operation for many years and there has been inadequate maintenance and 63 1681 evaluation of the dam. The Commission's Dam Safety Inspection program and the workload associated therewith are directed to these critical factors. Descriptions of the various types of dam safety inspections conducted by FERC staff are presented below. Construction Inspections At the construction stage, dam safety functions primarily include: (1) approval of plans and specifications; (2) approval of a licensee's quality control and inspection programs; (3) engineering and geologic investigations; (4) approval of licensee's engineering consultants; and (5) inspection of construction at critical stages to ensure that project construction is consistent with the design and current engineering criteria. Major projects are normally inspected once a month; however, inspections are more frequent when unusual problems are encountered and less frequent during periods of work interruption, winter slowdown, or when construction activity indicates that less frequent inspections are needed. The issuance of a license for an unconstructed major new capacity project has a much greater impact on inspection workload than the issuance of a license for a constructed project due to the frequency of inspections. In conducting these inspections, the inspecting engineer travels to the project construction site to review work progress. The major purposes of the inspection are to ensure that all provisions of the license are being complied with, that any safety hazards or noncompliance concerns are reported, and that any nonconformance to license exhibits or contract plans and specifications is identified. The inspecting engineer also verifies adherence to sound con- struction and quality control practices and ensures that appropriate documen- tation records are being maintained. At various stages during construction, the inspector focuses on and does appropriate levels of assessment on: © excavation for tunnels, structures and roadways; O foundation conditions and preparation; type and placement of embankment, concrete and other materials; installation of machinery and equipment; reservoir clearing; and installation and construction of recreation, fish, and wildlife facilities. The inspecting engineers carefully observe and describe in their inspection reports the quality of the materials used and work performed. In particular, any significant deficiencies will be reported in writing to the licensee for remedial action, especially any unsafe practices and noncompliance with license conditions. The Commission proposes to complete 630 construction inspections in FY 1990, 8 percent more than the number estimated for FY 1989 and 42 percent more than were completed in FY 1988. 64 1682 Operation Inspections Once project construction is completed, the Commission ensures the safe operation and proper maintenance of a project. Inspecting engineers: (1) conduct periodic operation inspections to ensure that the project is properly operated and maintained; (2) evaluate the structural integrity of dams by requiring that owners retain a consultant every 5 years to conduct an inde- pendent inspection and prepare a report of the inspection in accordance with Commission regulations; (3) require emergency action plans (EAP) for all major dams to provide an early warning to upstream and downstream inhabitants if there is a sudden release of water resulting from an accident to or failure of a dam (the purpose of an EAP is to ensure the safety of the public should there be any unanticipated safety problem, even if the dam is considered safe with the application of the best available analytical and technical methods); and, (4) require remedial measures (modifications) or maintenance to ensure the long-term structural integrity of dams under the Commission's jurisdic- tion. * An important part of the inspecting engineer's duties when conducting an operation inspection is to ensure that EAPs are properly maintained and can be readily implemented if an emergency occurs. The plans provide local author- ities with emergency measures crucial to the orderly evacuation of all residents located in the immediate areas. EAPs are reviewed annually by staff and periodic tests are conducted by the dam owners to ensure adequacy. The frequency of project inspections is determined by their potential hazard classification. High-hazard and significant-hazard projects are inspected annually while low-hazard projects are inspected triennially or biennially depending on their size. Commission inspecting engineers examine the project for any appreciable water seepage, deterioration of the structures, and unusual overflow conditions and major damages to the project works resulting from floods. * During the course of these inspections, important safety matters are immediately brought to the attention of the licensee by the inspecting engineer in order to expedite required corrective measures. All findings and observations are documented in an operations inspection report. In FY 1990, an estimated 940 inspections of operating facilities will be completed, 7 percent more than were completed in FY 1988. Exemption Inspections After an application for exemptión from licensing is initially filed, an inspection is made to verify if additional dam safety and environmental provisions are needed in a case-specific exemption order. In addition, these inspections verify the exemption status of a project. Normally, two follow-up inspections are made at these projects. The first is to verify the start of and observe construction, while the second is to observe the completed project and its operation. Additional inspections can be made during construction to ensure compliance with the exemption order if necessary. A significant number of exempted projects are inspected on an annual basis for dam safety reasons. 65 1683 The Commission estimates that 273 exemption inspections will be completed in FY 1990, a decrease of 14 percent from the estimate for FY 1989. This reduction is a result of a projected decrease in the number of applications for exemptions and the subsequent authorization of exempted projects. Prelicense Inspections A prelicense inspection is made at all projects with a constructed dam while the license application is pending, in order to verify that the application conforms with existing regulations and that the exhibits filed with the application accurately describe the existing facilities. Constructed projects are inspected biennially after the initial inspection while the application is pending. The inspection also provides information on any dam safety problems that may not be apparent in the application and establishes a hazard potential category for the structure that will be considered in licensing the project. An inspection report is completed which includes comments on plans for redevelopment, increases in capacity, and recreation use. In FY 1990, 35 prelicense inspections will be completed, an increase of 150 percent over the FY 1989 estimate. Special Inspections Special inspections are made whenever an emergency or unusual situation such as a complaint occurs. Emergencies include earthquakes, land or rock slides, floods, or even a significant change in a seepage condition. Special inspections are also made to investigate operating, unauthorized projects for which no license application is pending. The purposes of these inspections are to determine the presence of any dam safety problems, to establish the hazard potential of the dam, and to gather any information that might aid in . establishing jurisdiction over the project. Consultant Inspection Reports The Commission's regulations require that all major licensed or exempted dams be inspected at 5-year intervals by an independent consultant to supplement the Commission's inspections and assist in identifying deficiencies that might endanger the public. The inspection report which is prepared by the consultant delineates any current or potential deficiencies in the condition of project structures, quality and adequacy of maintenance, methods of operation, and ability to pass floods. The dam safety inspection staff reviews the reports for adequacy and possible follow-up action associated with the consultant's recommendations. The workload associated with this activity fluctuates from year to year because the report due dates are related to the issuance dates of licenses. Unlicensed Projects The Commission is responsible for ensuring that unlicensed constructed Projects that are required by the Federal Power Act to be licensed obtain appropriate authorization. Licensing such projects provides for Commission 66 1684 regulation of two important factors -- first, and most importantly, the condition of the projects and the safety of the dams and, second, the impact of the projects on the environment. The Commission is continuing its efforts to determine whether these projects are jurisdictional, with priority given to those projects which pose the greatest safety hazard. If jurisdic- tion is found, the Commission will order the owner to submit an application for license to ensure safe operation and maintenance of the project, and to implement appropriate terms and conditions to protect and enhance the environment. This workload will require inspections to identify any safety or environmental concerns that may exist and compliance actions to correct any problems encountered. Relicensing Between now and 1993, the Commission will experience a dramatic increase in its relicensing workload. Beginning in FY 1989, with respect to dam safety, the staff will be reviewing and evaluating the safety of all dams subject to relicense. The goal is to ensure that dam safety has been adequately addressed under the Commission's regulations and the current license. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Dam Safety Inspections © Worked with state agencies to promote dam safety and license compliance activities. O Maintained conformance with the President's Guidelines for Dam. Safety. © Reviewed the status of emergency action plans for projects on a quarterly basis to ensure that adequate plans had been established and maintained to protect the public in the event of an emergency. Maintained a highly trained professional staff of engineering and environmental specialists. © Performed 1,932 dam safety inspections and produced written inspection reports for each inspection. Improved productivity of engineering staff through the increased use of computers in technical analysis and administrative functions. G Inspected all dams with high and significant-hazard potentials. Identified 41 dams that did not meet current engineering criteria and required the licensees to initiate remedial measures to correct the deficiencies. Updated the Operating Manual for Inspection of Projects and Supervision of Licenses, Permits and Exemptions, an internal procedural document to provide regional office personnel with current guidelines to be used in the administration of projects. 67 1685 Dam Safety Inspection Workload The trend of an increasing workload with respect to dam safety and related inspections is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Since 1977, the number of dams under the Commission's jurisdiction has more than doubled. Concurrently, the number of inspections and compliance requirements has increased four-fold during the same time period. The Commission has implemented numerous procedures to effectively and efficiently handle this unprecedented workload increase. In addition to the increasing workload from new projects, the Commission will begin activities related to relicensing of nearly 200 projects between now and 1993. Fiscal Year 1988 was a transition year in which compliance responsibilities were phased out of the Dam Safety program and assumed by the newly created Division of Project Compliance and Administration. The Commission's staff, in its five regional offices, supports both the inspections and compliance functions and will continue to do so under the new organizational structure, although with more clearly defined roles in these two program areas. This will allow inspectors to concentrate their full attention on dam safety work, thus strengthening the overall dam safety capabilities of the inspections program. Table 13 shows the estimated activities for the dam safety inspection work- load. In FY 1988, 1,932 dam safety inspections were performed and estimated inspections are 2,045 in FY 1989 and 2,052 in FY 1990. The inspection process is expected to become more time-consuming because of the increasing number and complexity of the conditions contained in recently issued licenses. All inspections are completed in the fiscal year in which they are initiated.

Ensure timely action on amendments of license and exemption. Effectively administer power site lands. Identify and bring under license those operating unlicensed projects that are determined to be within the Commission's jurisdiction. Effectively administer the headwater. benefits program for the Commission. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Investigate and bring into compliance approximately 500 violations of hydropower license and exemption requirements. Streamline the procedures for processing amendments of license and exemption. * Standardize procedures for power site lands actions. Accomplish 45 jurisdictional determinations of unlicensed operating hydropower projects and, for those found to be jurisdictional, take appropriate action requiring the project owners to file a license application. Complete 4 headwater benefit determinations for $3,800,000 and issue approximately 55 annual bills estimated at $5,700,000. Evaluate the Hydropower Licensing Compliance Tracking System to improve its usefulness and reliability as a compliance monitoring tool and its applicability as a database for tracking a project's compliance history. * Assist in developing and implementing the Commission's civil penalty policy and procedures. - 69 1687 Program Description The Commission is responsible for monitoring and investigating compliance with the terms and conditions of each of the more than 2,200 outstanding hydropower licenses, exemptions, and preliminary permits. The Commission's compliance program ensures that projects are constructed, operated, and maintained in adherence to the power and development purposes for which they were issued and for the preservation of environmental quality. Increased enforcement responsibilities derived from the enforcement provi- sions of Section 31 of the FPA, as amended by Section 12 of ECPA, require the Commission staff to devote substantially more effort to the rapidly expanding compliance workload. In part to meet its commitment to increase enforcement of hydropower requirements, a new organizational unit, the Division of Project Compliance and Administration, was created in February 1988 to centralize compliance monitoring and increase managerial oversight of compliance activities. Compliance Hydropower developers may violate license and exemption requirements in two ways--failing to file a document in the prescribed timeframe, and failing to meet substantive tenets of the license or exemption articles prescribing certain structural, operational, or mitigative requirements. Virtually every license and exemption order requires the filing of post issuance documents with the Commission. Every filing requirement of a Commission license or exemption is documented in the computer-based Hydropower License Compliance Tracking System (HLCTS). Any required filing not made with the Commission is identified by HLCTS through a weekly printout of overdue items. Currently HLCTS monitors more than 10,000 filing requirements contained in over 2, 200 orders issued by the Commission. Failure to file any one of these items on time initiates a compliance action. All licenses and exemptions prescribe how the authorized hydropower project is to be constructed and operated based on approved plans and specifications. All licenses and exemptions issued contain measures designed to mitigate for environmental and engineering concerns (i.e., minimum flows, wildlife habitat enhancement, archeological preservation, structural integrity). Instances of noncompliance, where specific terms, measures, specifications, and/or limits are not being met or adhered to are identified during the course of inspec- tions by the regional office staff, or communicated to FERC by resource agencies and other entities. The staff establishes contacts with resource agencies and other interested groups to encourage easy reporting of instances of noncompliance. Failure of the licensee or exemptee to construct the project as specified, to operate the project within the constraints of the authorization, or to provide for a mitigative measure results in the initiation of a compliance action. 92–897 O—89——54 70 1688 The majority of the terms and conditions contained in licenses and exemptions are complied with satisfactorily and expeditiously. In instances requiring compliance actions, however, the staff initiates an investigation and issues a notice of violation. Where licensees and exemptees are not diligent in fulfilling their responsibilities, a compliance order pursuant to Section 31(a) of the FPA, a directive to cease project construction or operation, or a court injunction or other remedies may be necessary to bring the violators into compliance. Violations requiring legal remedies are referred to the Commission's Office of the General Counsel. In addition to monitoring compliance with licenses and exemptions, the Commission ensures compliance with preliminary permits. Permittees are required to conduct certain environmental and other studies in consultation with resource agencies and to file 6-month status reports that demonstrate the progress made toward the decision on project feasibility. The Commission believes it is critical that appropriate studies be conducted during the permit period so that resource agencies have adequate information to make decisions on the appropriate recommendations for the protection of their respective resources. Also, any application for license must provide sufficient information upon which sound decisions can be made on whether a project should, or should not, be developed. In FY 1988, a total of 91 preliminary permits were cancelled for roncompliance with permit require- ments. The Commission expects that 100 preliminary permits will be cancelled in FY 1989 and 100 in FY 1990. º Staff also maintains a record of a licensee's compliance with the terms and conditions of its license. This record is maintained for purposes of future review under Section 15 of the FPA when the Commission determines if a new license should be granted to the existing licensee. In situations where a civil penalty may be appropriate, a proposed penalty is based on various factors, including the severity of the noncompliance item, the licensee's knowledge of the violation and its will ingness to quickly remedy the noncompliance matter. The Commission issued a final rule in FY 1989 establishing procedures for assessing civil penalties. Commission actions during FY 1989 will establish policies defining the appropriate amount for civil penalties and when civil penalties are appropriate. The policies and procedures associated with the processing of compliance actions are evolving as the number and types of violations are discovered and as the number of respective actions taken increases. Compliance Inspections To monitor compliance and ensure that the number of occurrences of noncompli- ance are minimized, inspectors from the five regional offices conduct regular inspections to identify any violations of license and exemption requirements. The Commission has increased the number of compliance inspections as the number of projects under construction and in operation has increased. Current policy emphasizes the importance of coordinating compliance inspections with 71 1689 environmental resource agencies, including the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the various state resource agencies. The regional offices maintain regular contact with licensees, exemptees, and the representatives of Federal and state agencies and environ- mental organizations in order to enhance communication and to monitor compli- ance more effectively. For FY 1989 and FY 1990, a total of 205 compliance inspections are scheduled each year. Unlicensed Constructed Projects There are a large number of constructed hydropower projects that have been identified as operating and potentially subject to the Commission's juris- diction under the FPA. Therefore, there may be public safety and environ- mental concerns that either have not been addressed or have not been properly addressed by project owners as required under the applicable provisions of the FPA. The Commission's actions with respect to unlicensed projects are based on Sections 4(e), 10(a), and 23(b) of the FPA. Because of these potential effects and the need to ensure compliance with the FPA, the Commission will continue to investigate operating unlicensed projects in FY 1990. These projects are identified by the staff through record searches and through information provided by other Federal and state agencies and individuals. Each project requires investigation and research to allow the Commission to make jurisdictional determinations. As part of these investigations, site inspections are conducted at each project. Research is done on project characteristics and their relation to the jurisdictional bases of the Commission's licensing program. Some of the historical research associated with these investigations will continue to be accomplished through contractors. This effort enables the Commission staff to be approximately twice as productive in making jurisdictional determinations as it would be without this support. Concurrent with the Commission issuance of an order finding jurisdiction, owners of projects found to be juris- dictional are ordered to file license applications and comply with the FPA and the Commission's regulations. * Headwater Benefits Determinations The Commission is required to determine charges for headwater benefits, based on the advantages received from upstream Federal project storage or other licensed projects. In accordance with Section 10(f) of the FPA, the Commis- Sion conducts studies to determine the equitable amount that an owner of a downstream, nonfederal hydropower development shall pay to the United States, or to a licensee, for benefits provided by a federally owned or licensed headwater improvement. In FY 1990, the Commission expects to complete 4 new headwater benefit determinations estimated at $3,800,000, initiate 4 new headwater benefit studies, and issue an estimated 55 annual bills amounting to approximately $5,700,000 in headwater benefits payments. The Commission has returned more than $100 million to the U.S. Treasury under this program since 1920; $64 million of this amount has been collected since 1978. 72 1690 Power Site Lands The Commission: (1) processes applications for the restoration of power site lands to location, entry, or selection under the public land laws subject to the provisions of Section 24 of the FPA; (2) comments on Bureau of Land Management proposals to revoke power site reserves, water power designations, and power site classifications; (3) comments on applications filed with the Bureau of Land Management for non-waterpower permits, leases, and rights-of- way involving power site lands; and (4) reports to the Bureau of Land Management on the licensing status of power site lands that are being considered for entry in accordance with the Mining Claims Rights Restoration Act of 1955. It is estimated that approximately 225 power site lands cases will be completed by the Commission in FY 1990. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Project Compliance and Administration The Project Compliance and Administration Division was created in February 1988. Initial accomplishments of the new program were as follows: C Completed 1 headwater benefit determination and issued 42 annual bills totalling more than $11,500,000. Accomplished 420 power site lands actions. Established written procedures and developed processing networks defining and describing compliance actions and activities. Issued compliance manuals to staff containing major policy state- ments regarding compliance activities. Finalized the Commission's rule on civil penalties. Completed approximately 50 license, exemption, and permit compliance actions. Made jurisdictional determinations on 35 projects and required the owners of the projects found to be jurisdictional to immediately start the preparation of license applications.

Narrative material in whole dollars.) FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Actual Appropriation Request Oil Pipeline Regulation - Operating Expenses $ 3,725 $ 3,800 $ 4,035 FTE's 58 62 59 Authorization: Oil Pipeline Regulation: Interstate Commerce Act; Department of Energy Organization Act; Regulatory Flexibility Act; Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act; and Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act. Goals of the Oil Pipeline Regulation Program: © Ensure that shippers and consumers are not adversely affected by unjustifiably high tariffs. Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Review and decide all initial and other tariff filings within the 10-day and 30-day notice periods. Decide initial oil pipeline rate cases that either implement the criteria set forth in Opinion Nos. 154-B and 154-C, or adopt a lighter handed approach where sufficient competition is shown to exist. The Commission's responsibilities in the Oil Pipeline Regulation program extend to approximately 138 common carrier oil pipelines. Given our Nation's position as the world's largest consumer and third largest producer of crude oil, we continue to be faced with enormous requirements for crude oil which must be transported through various pipeline delivery systems. The Commis- sion's responsibilities concerning the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products include establishment of transportation rates that are fair to shippers and consumers and that also supply adequate incentives for the expansion of oil pipeline systems. 76 1694 Functions and Legislative Requirements The responsibility for determining oil pipeline rates, including the investi- gation of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) and conducting valuations, was transferred to the FERC from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) under the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977. The Supreme Court on October 3, 1988, rejected a challenge by Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, thus terminating the TAPS investigation. The Oil Pipeline Regulation program is divided into three primary functions: (1) tariff rates, (2) depreciation reviews, and (3) financial audits. Tariff Rates Tariff and rate changes are filed with the Commission by oil pipelines for the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products pursuant to Section 6 of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA). These filings are statutory 30-day filings, although the Commission's regulations permit tariff filings for new facilities on 10-day's notice. It is the responsibility of staff to review each oil pipeline rate tariff filing for compliance with the ratemaking methodology set forth by the Commission. In the case where rate filings do not have sufficient justification to complete the analysis, a request is issued requiring the company to submit justification in support of its rates comporting with the methodology set forth in Opinion No. 154-B. Tariff filings are either accepted, rejected or found to be not just and reasonable and not in compliance with Opinion No. 154-B by the Oil Pipeline Board. Should the Board suspend a filing and set it for formal investigation, pursuant to Section 15(7) of the ICA these formal cases will then be completed by order of the Commission following formal proceedings. - On June 28, 1985, in response to a D. C. Circuit Court remand of Opinion No. 154 in the Williams Pipeline Company rate proceedings, the Commission issued Opinion No. 154-B which determined that a trended original cost methodology was appropriate for the oil pipeline industry. Application of this method- ology would be based upon a starting rate base for each individual carrier. Rate of return would be determined on a company specific basis and the equity portion of the rate of return would be a "real," as opposed to a "nominal," rate of return. This "real" equity rate of return would be determined on the basis of the risks faced by the pipeline company. Applications for rehearing and clarification of Opinion No. 154-B were filed in July 1985. In Opinion No. 154-C, issued in December 1985, the Commission, with minor modification with respect to income taxes, reaffirmed Opinion No. 154-B. On July 15, 1988, the Commission issued an order in Buckeye Pipe Line Company which indicated the Commission's willingness to consider a lighter handed approach to oil pipeline ratemaking than the cost-based ratemaking methodology set forth in Opinion No. 154-B, as modified by Opinion No. 154-C. The Commission determined that a lighter handed approach may be used if the '77 1695 record shows sufficient competition exists to ensure that the pipelines' rates are just and reasonable. The Commission directed the Administrative Law Judge to conduct the hearing in stages. In the first stage, evidence concerning competition in the relevant markets will be considered, and the Judge will report his findings to the Commission. The Commission will then decide if a lighter handed approach is justified in Buckeye's case. Depreciation Reviews 0íl pipeline companies must depreciate their assets based on rates established by the Commission. The FERC develops and establishes depreciation rates applicable to the original cost of property. Since depreciation expense represents a significant portion of the total operating expenses of a company, it has a direct impact on the company's net income. Depreciation rates are presently reviewed on a 5-year cycle. Financial Audits Through a financial audit program, the Commission administers the Uniform System of Accounts. Financial audits of the books and records of new oil pipeline carriers and pipeline systems are performed to ensure that the financial information filed with the Commission complies with its regulations and that the original cost of carrier property for ratemaking purposes is properly stated. Certain modifications must be made to accounting requirements contained in the Uniform System of Accounts to reflect the ratemaking principles set forth in Opinion No. 154-B. A continuing program of compliance audits is necessary in order to provide assurances to staff and to the Commission that oil pipelines are properly following the principles of original cost ratemaking and that the operating expense accounts are consistent with the Commission's accounting requirements. Remedial Orders and Adjustment Request Denials Section 503(c) of the DOE Organization Act (42 USC § 7193(c)) provides for review of orders issued by the Secretary of Energy pursuant to Section 503(a) of the DOE Organization Act, and initiated by notices of probable violation, proposed remedial orders, or other formal administrative initiating documents issued on or after October 1, 1977, which are contested by the recipient. FERC responsibility for these activities was initiated by the DOE Organization Act. The Commission established formal procedures, akin to court trials, for . these hearings and delegated the responsibility of presiding over these hearings to its Office of Administrative Law Judges. During FY 1988, staff completed 15 appeals of DOE remedial orders and 2 reviews of adjustment request denials. Pending workload at the end of FY 1988 was 44 and 5, respectively. It is projected by the end of FY 1990 that 41 remedial orders and 3 adjustment request denials will remain pending. This represents a reduction in pending from FY 1988 of 10 percent. 78 1696 FY 1988 Accomplishments - Oil Pipelines O Completed staff presentations in two cases (Arco and Kuparuk), and served testimony in several other cases. © Completed the residual valuation workload activities. Oil Pipeline Workload General Filings have been received at a reduced level during FY 1988 due to the impact of the new regulatory methodology outlined in Opinion No. 154-B. The lead cases being used to further define oil pipeline rate methodology have not yet reached full maturity. This has caused pipeline companies to be more cautious and reticent in filing. With resolution of basic issues in the lead cases, filings are expected to return to normal levels in FY 1989 and FY 1990. Tariff (Formal Rate) items, as a result of the new methodology, are extremely complicated and manpower intensive. Until the issuance of final decisions in the lead cases, each case must be prepared to cover all issues. Depreciation Order receipts and completions were at a lower level than expected in FY 1988. However, they are expected to return to normal levels in FY 1989 and FY 1990. These orders have significant impact on rates due to the new methodology of Opinion No. 154-8. In general, pending levels are anticipated to decrease through FY 1990.

Ensure that rates charged by Federal power marketing administrations conform to statutory requirements. Administer the qualifying facility program under the Public Utility Regu- latory Policies Act (PURPA). Promote efficient performance of electric utilities. 81 1699 Specific Objectives for FY 1990: O Provide a flexible regulatory framework that can respond quickly and effectively to the changes taking place and that will continue to take place in the electric utility industry. Stimulate competition whenever possible and remove unnecessary regulatory barriers to an efficient industry. - Process all applications within statutory time limits. Develop generic rulemakings on electric ratemaking issues to reduce case- by-case litigation. Administer the Uniform System of Accounts and a program of financial audits. Maintain a high productivity level consistent with adjustments for increased complexity of workload, particularly in the formal investi- gations area. Promptly resolve issues on major qualifying facility applications brought before the Commission. Complete biennial review of all policies and procedures under automatic adjustment clauses as mandated by Section 205(f)(2) of the Federal Power Act (FPA). Process requests for waiver of certain Commission rules obligating pur- chases and sales of electric power from qualifying facilities (QF). Closely monitor the effects on electric power reliability and supply, resulting from electric utility mergers and restructuring, and Commission policy encouraging competitive electric industry sectors. Promptly resolve all proceedings instituted pursuant to the Regulatory Fairness Act. The Federal Power Act requires the Commission to establish just, reasonable, nondiscriminatory and nonpreferential rates for wholesale electric sales and the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. Wholesale sales transactions historically have been divided into two distinct categories, requirement sales and coordination sales. Requirement sales involve a long- term commitment to provide firm power to meet all or part of the buyer's load. Coordination transactions involve the sale or exchange of electricity between utilities that normally have sufficient generation to meet their own loads. Coordination sales generally are shorter and less firm than requirement sales, and the revenues from coordination sales are used to reduce the rates to requirement customers. Power purchased at wholesale is becoming more important as a source of supply for the electric power delivered to ultimate consumers. Nationwide, power purchased at wholesale provides about a third of the supply of electricity for sales to ultimate consumers. 82 1700 The Commission also: • has authority over agreements for the interconnection of utility systems and transfers of power by utilities; has authority over mergers, acquisitions, sales and dispositions of jurisdictional facilities of public utilities, and certain issuances of utility securities; O has authority over certain interlocking relationships between top utility officials and certain firms doing business with these utilities; O is responsible for ensuring that rates charged by DOE's power marketing agencies comply with statutory standards and regulations developed by the Secretary of Energy; and, O processes applications pursuant to PURPA for qualifying status as a cogeneration, or small power production facility. Competitive Pressures Historically, the electric industry has significantly contributed to the Nation's economic well-being. However, there are a number of factors that could hamper both the adequacy of future power supplies and reliability, and inhibit further efficiency gains in the industry. The problems of unstable capital markets, high interest rates and volatile fuel prices are part of the business environment within which all firms must operate, but are of particular sensitivity to the electric industry. As a result of such factors, combined with concerns, about adequate rate recovery and after-the-fact prudence reviews of utility projects, many utilities are reluctant to pursue large generation facilities and unproven technologies. Utilities are also facing competitive pressures resulting from the entry of nontraditional generators into the power business, and technological improvements in generation and transmission. The Commission is in the process of reviewing and revamping its rate and corporate regulation of the electric utility industry to respond to these factors. Since there may no longer be a natural monopoly in generation of electric energy, the Commission believes that one way to provide adequate, reliable, and more efficient supplies of electric power is to capitalize on the potential for more power supply competition by encouraging cogeneration and small power production facilities and by promoting entry into the industry by independent, other nontraditional power producers. Comprehensive Regulatory Framework The Commission has begun implementing plans to encourage more supply options and to provide greater regulatory flexibility so that electric utilities can be more market responsive. In FY 1988, four notices of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) were issued. These rulemaking proceedings will require additional Staff effort. 83 1701 Efforts are continuing to determine whether the rates of certain non-QF independent power producers should be regulated like those of QF facilities, to reflect the avoided cost of the purchaser rather than the internal cost of the seller. Independent power producers may at times be in a better position than conventional utilities to take risks as major and supplementary power suppliers, to employ new technologies, and to optimally utilize the Nation's pool of recognized plant design, construction, and operating talent. Since these entities, by definition, would not possess market power, they would be entitled to benefits that are commensurate with the risks taken in construc- ting and operating new power facilities. The streamlined market-oriented rate and corporate regulation offered to independent power producers in the Commis- sion's recent notice of proposed rulemaking (RM88-4-000) is designed to do this. The Commission's proposed bidding rule (RM88-5-000) is designed to authorize states to use more efficient market systems to establish rates for QF pur- chases and to prioritize purchases of capacity from qualifying facilities under PURPA. It may also be used to promote risk-taking by conventional utilities by offering to utilities' investors the possibility of market-based rewards which better reflect the degree of risk that is undertaken with regard to the construction of power production facilities. In order to assure that utilities are not forced to pay for qualifying facility capacity that is not needed and to assure that qualifying facilities are not over or undercompen- sated, as required by PURPA, the Commission has proposed, in RM88-6-000, to improve its rules governing the administrative determination of avoided costs by state authorities. Finally, in RM88-17-000, the Commission has proposed to amend its rules governing the certification of qualification of facilities under PURPA, to reduce the administrative. burden on both the applicant and the Commission. In addition to the proposed rulemakings, the Commission currently is attempt— ing to ascertain the extent to which the pricing of bulk power sales between conventional utilities might be made more responsive to prevailing market conditions. In determining whether utilities should be allowed to have greater pricing flexibility, the staff will have to analyze the degree of market power which a utility has in a particular sales arrangement. The Commission is also examining its regulation of transmission service. Trans- mission is a complex and key component of more efficient electric markets. Although competition in the transmission sector of the industry is virtually nonexistent, it is possible that transmission pricing could be modified to better account for unintended power flows, and to encourage greater voluntary transmission access and more efficient transactions, through variations on embedded cost or marginal cost pricing. These efforts, particularly the :* issues involved in transmission reform, will require extensive staff time. 84 1702 Wholesale Rates The Commission acts on filings to establish or change the rates, terms, and conditions for the transmission or sale at wholesale of electric energy in interstate commerce. To expedite the process, the Commission has delegated authority to the staff to act on certain routine and noncontroversial applica- tions. More than 85 percent of the rate filings are completed through these delegations. - The Commission may suspend a proposed rate increase for up to 5 months and order that the rates be collected subject to refund. For those rates which appear to be excessive, an investigation is initiated. A settlement conference is scheduled to permit an opportunity for staff, the utility, the affected wholesale customers, state commissions and any other intervenors to resolve differences and arrive at mutually acceptable terms. Approximately 70 percent of the investigations are resolved through the settlement process. If settlement attempts are unsuccessful, the matter then proceeds to a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. In processing rate filings, the Commission has had to address several major issues. These issues include construction work in progress (CWIP), plant cancellations, prudence, diversification, tax reform, and complex bulk power arrangements. While the number of electric rate cases has fallen somewhat, the increased complexity of cases has required a greater amount of staff time. CWIP - In 1983 the Commission changed its policy in setting wholesale rates to allow up to 50 percent of qualifying CWIP in rate base, in addition to pollution control and fuel conversion CWIP. However, the court remanded portions of the Commission's CWIP rule because of "price squeeze" and "double whammy" antitrust concerns. - - "Price squeeze" is price discrimination that has an anticompetitive effect directed against a utility's wholesale customers. "Double whammy" may occur when a customer, planning to leave or reduce its reliance on its supplying utility's system, constructs and pays for its own generating facilities and is simultaneously required to pay rates supporting the supplying utility's investment in future generating capacity. On June 18, 1987, the Commission issued a final rule on CWIP (Order No. 474). The final rule is similar to the interim rule, with certain modifications intended to address more thoroughly the court's concerns. The final rule prescribes treatment of CWIP filings generally and establishes procedures and guidelines for addressing and remedying potential anticompetitive effects of CWIP in rate base. The court affirmed the Commission's treatment of "price squeeze" and "double whammy," but remanded to FERC for further consideration, the appropriate standard for preliminary relief from alleged price squeeze. 85 1703 Although the CWIP issue has declined in significance during the past few years and is not expected to be, a major issue in FY 1989, new construction is expected to begin again in FY 1989 and FY 1990, thus reestablishing CWIP as a significant electric rate issue in FY 1990 and later. Plant Cancellation - The Commission formerly permitted a utility to amortize and recover in rates prudently incurred costs associated with abandoned or cancel ied plants. However, the Commission did not permit a return to be earned on the unamortized balance. On September 30, 1985, the Commission agreed to New England Power Company's request to reexamine the Commission's policy regarding the treatment of the costs of cancelled plants. On January 15, 1988, the Commission issued an opinion that reaffirms the intent of the Commission, as established in Opinion No. 49, to balance the interests of ratepayers and shareholders so as to require a sharing of the losses in cancelled or abandoned plants. However, the opinion refines the earlier policy by requiring an explicit 50/50 sharing of the loss between the ratepayers and the shareholders, with the utility allowed to place the unamortized portion of its 50 percent in rate base and with an amortization period which reflects the expected life of the plant had it been completed. Prudence - The issue of prudence in management action has the potential to exist in all rate cases involving CWIP, new or existing plant in service, and cancelled plant. While the prudence of utility management decisions hereto- fore was largely confined to plant additions, the focus of allegations of utility imprudence seems to be gradually expanding to include operational imprudence as well. In all cases, the utility's decisions must be reviewed to ascertain whether a specific item or series of items (such as a review of the decisions relating to construction of a new generating plant) were prudently made. The party alleging imprudence must make a showing which raises a serious doubt about the prudence of the utility's course of action. The amount of staff time required for prudence analysis varies. At a minimum, where a state decision finding imprudence has already been issued, staff must evaluate and review the facts and reasoning underlying each disallowance. In the absence of a state decision, staff must make its own evaluation of the utility's actions. This requires extensive data requests and substantial staff review of the responses. Field reviews may be required to review certain aspects of the utility's decisionmaking process. In any event, although the number of electric rate cases may be declining, those that are set for formal hearing require an increasing amount of staff time to evaluate the prudence issues. Diversification - Because of the declining level of utility construction, many electric utilities are in a surplus cash condition due to the replacement of the allowance for funds used during construction with a cash return on rate base, and increased funds associated with deferred income taxes and book depreciation. After allocating this increased cash flow to the more immediate concerns of shoring up the utility's financial posture, some utilities have embarked upon diversification ventures. In order to isolate these diversi- fication ventures from the regulated utility portion of their companies, many utilities are electing to reorganize themselves under a holding company 86 1704 structure, where in the regulated utility and nonutility entities are indepen- dent subsidiaries of the holding company. In the course of reorganizing, electric utilities may "dispose" of their jurisdictional facilities, and such transactions are subject to Section 203 of the FPA. Thus, the recent surfeit of cash has led to an increase in diversification efforts which, in turn, has led to an increase in the number of corporate filings before the Commission. In addition to increasing the number of corporate filings, diversification into nonregulated businesses by electric utilities will complicate the rate of return issue in rate cases. The overall cost of utility capital will be relatively easy to estimate. However, if the amount of revenue obtained from nonregulated businesses is significant, the overall cost of capital of the integrated operations may not be the appropriate allowed rate of return for the electric utility segment of the business. This situation would occur if the risk of the nonregulated operations are significantly different than the risk of the electric utility operations. This problem is one of identifi- cation of risks and the associated capital cost of the electric utility function for ratemaking purposes. This problem will be encountered whether the utility reorganizes as a holding company or not. The scope of rate of return testimony will have to be broadened to include techniques which rank the business segment of the utility according to risk. It is possible that electric utilities which have diversified should receive allowed rates of return which are not equal to the overall costs of capital for the company. Determinations of the allowed rates of return will become more subjective. This will complicate the tasks of rate of return witnesses, administrative law judges, and the Commission. - Tax Reform - The Tax Reform Act of 1986 lowered the Federal income tax rate of electric utilities. To ensure that utilities reflect the change in their rates in a timely manner, the Commission issued a final rule, Order No. 475, on June 26, 1987, effective the same date. The rule allowed utilities to voluntarily make an abbreviated filing between September 15, 1987, and November 30, 1987, adjusting only the tax expense. Any utility that did not act voluntarily to reflect the reduced tax rate, either in an abbreviated filing or in a normal rate filing encompassing the entire cost of service, may be the subject of a "show cause" proceeding under Section 206 of the FPA. Any other utility costs may also be examined in a "show cause" proceeding. The Commission has completed the evaluation of the abbreviated filings and all the filed reductions are now in place. Woluntary Tax Reform Act filings were made by 43 electric utilities, reflecting a total estimated annual revenue reduction of $70 million. With regard to those utilities that had not filled Order No. 475 applications or otherwise adjusted their rates to reflect the new federal income tax rates, the Commission staff initiated an informal review of the rates of those utilities to ascertain whether exessive revenues were being collected. Where rates appeared to be in excess of costs of service, the staff held conferences with those utilities to negotiate rate reductions or to allow them the opportunity to demonstrate why their rates should not be reduced. Of the six utilities whose rates appeared excessive, 87 1705 four utility companies provided updated cost information which supported their present revenue levels. Two other companies made rate filings where annual revenues were reduced. The Commission does not anticipate any further rate initiatives concerning the Tax Reduction Act. Another aspect of the Tax Reform Act concerns the timeframes for flowing back to ratepayers the surplus accumulated deferred income taxes that the change in corporate federal income tax rates has engendered. This issue will likely be raised in Section 205 or 206 proceedings. Complex Bulk Power Arrangements - Bulk power arrangements have become more common and more complex. Transfers are both long and short term and reflect . many cost, market, and competitive factors. These sales have significant impacts on ratepayers and the processing of these filings have required significant staff resources. Regulatory Fairness Act Proceedings. On October 6, 1988, the President signed into law the Regulatory Fairness Act which amends section 206 of the Federal Power Act to allow, in appropriate circumstances, refunds to ratepayers of excessive rates collected prior to final Commission action in section 206 proceedings. Traditionally, the Commission could change a utility's rates only prospectively from the date of the Commission's ultimate resolution of the proceeding and ratepayers were not entitled to refunds of excessive rates collected prior to final Commission action. As a consequence of the additional refund authority that the Regulatory Fairness Act provides, the number of complaints filed under section 206 of the Federal Power Act and the number of proceedings instituted under section 206 will increase. Corporate Applications and Interlocking Positions The Commission is responsible for acting on applications related to corporate transactions including mergers, property disposition and acquisition, and issuance or acquisition of securities by regulated public utility companies, and for acting on applications for authorization to hold certain interlocking positions between a public utility and other business entities. In addition, the Commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining a public record of interlocking positions, including certain types not requiring formal applications, and a public file of each utility's 20 largest purchasers of electricity. During FY 1988, the Supreme Court upheld the determination that certain "limited" underwriting activities engaged in by commercial banks do not violate the Glass–Steagall Act. As a result, the Commission expects to see an increase in the number of interlocking directorate applications filed under Section 305 of the Federal Power Act since many directors of public utilities also serve as directors of commercial banks. 88 1706 The Commission staff has met with several utilities to discuss their proposals for corporate restructuring. A number of other utilities have indicated that they are considering restructuring alternatives. There are many types of restructuring proposals. Each proposal is somewhat unique; moreover, all are relatively complex from ratemaking, accounting, and financial perspectives. As a result of the interest in restructuring, there likely will be increases in corporate applications filed pursuant to Sections 203 and 204 of the FPA. This increase in applications will not represent a significant increase in workload; however, there will be a significant increase in time expended per filing to process corporate applications due to the complex and unique nature of the issues presented by the restructuring activity. There is also the possibility of hearings being required to consider corporate applications, such as in the proceeding initiated to consider the proposed merger between Utah Power and Light Company and Pacificorp. Federal Rate Reviews The FERC reviews the rates for five power marketing administrations (PMAs). The PMAs are Bonneville Power Administration (BPA or Bonneville), Alaska Power Administration (APA), Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA), Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), and Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA). The passage of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Act) in 1980 gave the Commission statutory authority to confirm and approve the power and transmission rates of BPA on both an interim and final basis. The authority to confirm the rates of the other four PMAs on a final basis was delegated to the Commission by the Secretary of Energy in 1983. - The review standards for Bonneville regional rates are similar to some of the standards found in the earlier acts that apply to the other four PMAs; how- ever, these standards are stated in the Northwest Act in more general terms. The standards for BPA's nonregional, nonfirm rates are the same standards found in legislation passed before 1980 and set a higher standard of review over those rates than for regional rates. In addition to the higher standards for nonfirm, nonregional rates, the Northwest Act also provides for a FERC hearing if the issues warrant it. The Commission has ordered hearings on Bonneville's FY 1981, FY 1982, FY 1984, and FY 1985 nonfirm, nonregional rates. The Commission issued opinions in the first three of these cases. The FY 1985 case is in the administrative hearing process. The regional rates for all four cases have been approved on a final basis by the Commission. The last of these was for the FY 1985 rate case which was approved on April 29, 1987. Included in that approval were three additional modifications to the 1985 rates filed during 1986 as emergency rate changes to enhance BPA's revenues in a competitive power market during 1986 and 1987. A new case filed in FY 1987 is pending a decision on the need for a hearing. Under the Northwest Act, the Commission also approves the rates under which BPA purchases power from Northwest utilities at their average system cost (ASC) for resale back to the participating utilities at BPA's preference rate. Investor-owned utilities (IOUs) that participate in this exchange program file 89 1707 their ASC rates with the Commission under Section 205 of the FPA. Since June of 1984, approximately 180 ASC rates have been filed pursuant to the methodol- ogies approved in Order Nos. 337 (1984 ASC) and 400 (1986 ASC). Under both ASC methodologies, BPA reviews the ASC rate developed by the participating utility for conformance with the methodology. Each of the eight IOUs par- ticipating in the ASC program then files the BPA-adjusted ASC rate with the Commission. The IOU and other affected parties may then contest the BPA decision before the Commission. Many of these rates have been contested and the issues raised are frequently both novel and complex. Presently, there are no contested ASC rates before the Commission. All prior ASC rates which were contested have either been decided by the Commission or settled. Based on experience, future ASC rate filings can be expected to continue to generate controversy. Western Systems Power Pool (WSPP) On March 12, 1987, the Commission approved, as modified, the proposed WSPP bulk power marketing experiment. The voluntary 2-year experiment, which began operation on May 1, 1987, involves a 14-state region and currently includes 13 jurisdictional investor-owned utilities, the BPA, and 9 nonjurisdictional entities (a co-op and public power authorities). The experiment will test whether voluntary access to certain energy commodities and transmission services, and a greater exchange of market information through an electronic bulletin board, will increase efficiency, competition and coordination in the use of generation and transmission facilities and will result in lower COf Sumer CO Sts. The pool affects coordination transactions only. Flexible pricing applies to marketing economy energy, unit commitment and firm system capacity and/or energy sale or exchange transactions and to marketing transmission services. For the energy commodity transactions, the prices are subject to ceilings based on costs associated with the highest fully allocated cost resources among participants during the prior year. Membership is open to any utility interconnected with a participant which owns or has entitlement to generation facilities and which operates its own control area or has appropriate arrange- ments with its control area operator. The experiment uses an electronic bulletin board to list daily buy and sell quotes. The participants may act both as buyers and sellers of energy and transmission in the pool. The pool does not alter or terminate any existing agreements among the participants, but constitutes an additional alternative arrangement. The order requires the participants to report on the activities from the operation of the experiment. This report will be filed during FY 1989. Because of the complexity and scope of the experiment, the issues, and the º: to be developed, review of the experiment will increase the Commission's workload. . 90 1708 Small Power Producers and Cogenerators The FERC is empowered under Section 210 of PURPA to certify small power production and cogeneration facilities as qualifying facilities. Under the regulations that were enacted pursuant to Section 210 of PURPA, qualifying facilities are exempted from certain Federal and state regulation. Electric utilities are required to purchase the electric output at the utilities full avoided cost, and to provide backup power to the facility. The Commission held public conferences in 1987 to receive comments on the implementation of Section 210. Particular interest was expressed on the following four issues: C Should the Commission reconsider the avoided cost rule? If so, what alternative approaches for the pricing of power from cogeneration and small power production facilities should be considered? © What problems, if any, exist with respect to the implementation of Section 210 by the state commissions and . nonregulated utilities? What action can the Commission take if problems do exist? © Are the standards for qualification of cogeneration and small power production facilities satisfactory (e.g., operating and efficiency standards, ownership criteria, etc.)? © Do qualifying facilities have adequate access to transmission facilities? If not, what are the possible solutions? In response to these issues, the Commission issued in FY 1988 four notices of proposed rulemaking which concern: (1) administrative determinations of full avoided costs; (2) bidding programs for pricing power from qualifying facili- ties; (3) regulation of non-PURPA independent power producers; and (4) techni- cal and procedural rules for PURPA implementation. Commission review of comments on these NOPR's will continue into early FY 1989. Follow-up on these actions will result in an increased workload for FY 1990. Staff work will be devoted to final resolution of the NOPR's and the imple- mentation of any regulatory changes. Workload will also increase if the Commission's actions further encourage cogeneration development as developers of those facilities seek certification. Interconnections and Wheeling The Commission, upon application or on its own motion, can order the physical connection of the transmission systems of two or more utilities to provide for the sale or exchange of electric power (interconnection) if certain statutory criteria are met. The FPA also authorizes the Commission to order an electric utility to provide transmission service (wheeling) to permit noncontiguous utilities to enter into transactions for the sale or exchange of electric power. Prior to issuing such orders, the Commission must find, among other things, that the action is in the public interest, and that it will: (1) conserve a significant amount of energy; (2) significantly further the 91 1709 efficient use of electric generation and transmission facilities; or (3) improve the reliability of utility electric systems. The Commission must also find that any order issued would reasonably preserve existing competitive relationships. Increased concern over potential capacity shortages and spot excesses in the 1990's may spur utilities and customers to request that FERC order wheeling. Few requests for mandatory wheeling have been received by the Commission although the wheeling issue is becoming a major issue in the qualifying facility area. The varying power production costs from region to region are prompting qualifying facilities to seek to sell their output to electric utilities other than the facility's host electric utility. The FERC's options to respond to wheeling requests are quite limited. Automatic Adjustment Clauses Automatic adjustment clauses permit electric utilities to adjust rates to reflect certain cost changes without requiring specific regulatory review and approval. The most common type of adjustment clause is the fuel adjustment clause, which reflects variations from an established base in the cost of fuel burned to generate electricity. PURPA directs the Commission to review, every 4 years, automatic adjustment clauses used in jurisdictional rate schedules, and to review energy and fuel purchase practices of utilities using such clauses every 2 years to ensure efficient use of resources. A company found to have improperly billed wholesale customers under the provisions of an automatic adjustment clause is ordered to refund any excess amounts with interest. The Commission will commence the next biennial review in FY 1990. Financial Audits An essential element in the Commission's Electric Power Regulation program is the existence of reliable financial accounting information which is based upon sound accounting principles that are uniformly applied to all jurisdictional companies. This accounting information is necessary in order to provide the Commission the information it needs on investment costs of facilities, the cost and types of capital used to finance such investments, and operating costs and revenues in order to establish just and reasonable rates under Sections 205 and 206 of the FPA and to determine compliance with the rate schedules cn file. These needs are essentially met through the establishment and maintenance of a Uniform System of Accounts for Public Utilities and Licensees, through requirements for periodic financial reporting, and through a program of financial audits of jurisdictional companies. These functions are carried out through authorities granted under Sections 4, 208, 301, 302, and 304 of the FPA. The accounting information obtained from financial statements prepared under standards uniformly applied to all regulated utilities forms the basis for measuring both historical economic performance and compliance of billing practices to the terms of approved tariffs. Additionally, the accounting information is used to determine the adequacy of current rates and provides the foundation for constructing ratemaking models useful for the development of future rates. 92 1710 The required assurances that the Commission must have that the basic financial information used in its economic regulation is sound and reliable is obtained essentially through a program of financial audits. These audits are conducted on a cyclical basis. Approximately 85 percent of the 205 utilities subject to the Commission's accounting regulations are audited on a 4-year cycle. The remaining companies are audited more or less frequently depending upon such factors as the extent to which automatic adjustment clauses are used, the frequency of rate filings, and other similar considerations. The audits, which are conducted on-site by field auditors, encompass selected reviews of rate matters as well as audits of the basic financial statements and related books and records. On June 21, 1988, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry into the effects of recent and proposed actions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board that would change the way regulated public utilities account for certain transactions in the financial statements that they issue to the public. Staff will be required to , review comments received on this subject, as well as to consider whether further Commission action in this area is appropriate. Changing Workload At present, most of the electric resources are involved in processing conven- tional rate filings. In the recent past, rate increases declined as utilities deferred rate increases to protect high equity allowances embedded in existing rates. Capital costs are now rising. Moreover, even if they remain stable, utilities will soon find that there is a limit to the increase in other costs which can be cushioned by attractive equity returns. For this reason, rate increase filings are expected to increase. There also is a growing trend toward informational filings, by utilities to reduce filing fees. This constitutes an already significant workload which is expected to increase substantially. Thus, workload for FY 1988 to FY 1990 in conventional filings is expected to increase. As a result of changing industry conditions, there has been a growing interest in the industry in coordination pricing. In FY 1988 through FY 1990, more complex and innovative rate proposals are expected and utilities are expected to pursue novel transmission pricing during this period. The level of industry inquiries and contacts which involve transmission pricing are on the increase. Several utilities have indicated that novel agreements are contemplated for the future. In addition, many utilities are pursuing the option of purchasing from independent power producers in lieu of utility construction, and this is occurring independent of the Commission's recently proposed rulemakings in this area. This will probably generate a new breed of wholesale contracts which will significantly impact workload. It is not known precisely how many independent power producers will be formed as a consequence of any implementation of streamlined rates and corporate regulation, nor is it precisely known how many conventional public utilities may be in a position, on a transaction specific basis, to qualify for stream- lined rate regulation. With the advent of streamlined regulation and as 93 1711 industry interest grows in the Commission's alternative programs, it is estimated that the number of public utilities qualified for streamlined treatment will increase substantially over the next 5 years. If final rule changes are put into place in response to the FY 1988 NOPR's on the administrative determination of avoided costs and revised criteria and procedural changes for qualifying facility certification, it is possible that the workload for Commission certification of QF applications during FY 1990 will be reduced. However, staff's involvement in monitoring the revised state regulatory authority and nonregulated utility implementation plans could increase. The remaining two FY 1988 NOPR's, competitive bidding for generation resources and reduced regulation of independent power producers, have resulted in substantial staff input because of the wide diversity of comments expressed within industry and from state government bodies. If final rules are in place, the staff may be involved in performing various monitor; ng functions during FY 1990. Management Initiatives A number of management initiatives have been implemented to speed up the processing of electric rate cases and reduce backlogged and pending workload. The Commission's Office of Electric Power Regulation (OEPR) has coordinated with the Office of the General Counsel to establish specific processing schedules for electric rate cases awaiting Commission opinion. Periodic meetings are held to review the progress on and status of each case and to update target dates for submission of draft opinions for Commission considera- tion. Existing cases, as well as anticipated new cases, are considered in developing processing schedules not only to eliminate backlogged cases but also to process all new cases in a timely manner. As a result, over 50 percent of the backlogged electric rate case dockets as of the beginning of FY 1987 were completed during the fiscal year. In FY 1988, the Commission concluded the fourth annual generic rate of return proceeding under which a benchmark rate of return of 11.21 percent was estab- lished for the industry. The benchmarks are updated quarterly and are only advisory at this time. However, the Commission has directed parties and ad- ministrative law judges to more carefully consider the generic rate of return in making return on equity recommendations in individual rate proceedings, which will increase staff requirements. In the most recent quarterly update, the advisory benchmark return was set at 12.44 percent for rate case filings made during the period from November 1, 1988 through January 31, 1989. The annual rate of return procedures have enabled the Commission to have a national forum for annually evaluating the financial condition of the juris- dictional electric utilities and to solicit views from the public on the appropriate return to be allowed on common equity. 94 1712 The Commission continues to regard the expeditious resolution of formal electric rate cases as one of its highest priorities. To this end, the Commission conducted a 2-year test of methods to improve case handling. As a result of this test, which ended in 1986, a "fast track" procedure was imple- mented for all future routine electric rate cases designated for hearing. To date approximately 40 percent of such cases have been designated for "fast track" procedures. In April 1987, the Commission switched from use of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) computer facility to an internal microcomputer based system for processing cost of service analyses (ECOS). The EC0S system' offers analysts enhanced analysis capabilities, data security, a consistent format for data management and faster results. The agency benefits from computer cost savings and greater potential for reducing the time needed to produce cost of service related work products. The ECOS system helps the analyst to compose a cost of service study by offering option menus, help screens, preliminary result calculation and error checking. Using ECOS, the analyst may view the results of a cost of service study within 10 minutes of initiating an adjustment. EC0S also benefits members of the industry by allowing them to evaluate their cost of service submission on a personal computer, using the exact formulas and program that will be used by FERC. ECOS was released to the industry in March 1988. Additionally, staff has put its depreciation programs on desk top computers. Staff can perform depreciation analyses more efficiently because the data entry and editing procedures are faster and easier than on the mainframe computer. It is estimated that this system should reduce the data entry process by 50 percent. Personal computer programs were released to the utility industry in April 1988. FY 1988 Accomplishments - Electric Power O Completed more than 1,700 workload items including almost 700 small power producer and cogeneration filings. Continued to monitor the recent trend toward restructuring within the industry to determine impact on cost of capital to utilities and on system reliability. s Completed mailing of the biennial questionnaire on automatic adjustment clauses to all utilities. Issued four notices of proposed rulemaking. Reviewed and approved the reasonableness of generating plant performance indices (equivalent availability) as targets in innovative formula rates (incentive rates). Completed review of requirement rates to identify those companies that needed to file revised rates consistent with the new tax law. 95 1713 O Continued to establish just and reasonable rates for transmission and resale services of electric utilities. © Continued prudence reviews of completed generation units, using rate decisions of states to establish prima facie cases. © Completed FPA Section 206 investigations of cost of service rates and long-term unit sales rates to ascertain if the specified return on common equity is excessive. O Ensured that rates charged by DOE's power marketing agencies complied with statutory standards and applicable regulations. Continued hearings on the appropriate standards of review for BPA's nonfirm, nonregional rates. . - O Continued processing petitions for waiver from certain regulations under Part 292, subpart C, pursuant to Section 210 of PURPA. O Continued processing applications for exemption from certain filing requirements under Section 133 of PURPA. O Audit findings contained in reports during FY 1988 resulted in adjustment to rate base accounts in excess of $60 million which will translate into substantial savings in customer rates. The audits also resulted in direct customer refunds due to improper cost of service or fuel adjustment clause billings. FY 1990 Resource Requirements The Commission is requesting a total of $26,903,000 and 393 FTE's for the Electric Power Regulation program in FY 1990, an increase of $778,000 over FY 1989 and an increase of 5 FTE's. The increase in funds is due to the automated office support system, increased employee benefits, additional contract funds for regulatory studies, and this program's share of fixed cost increases. 96 1714 Table 18 - Electric Power Workload Receipts Completions FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 FY 1988 FY 1989 FY 1990 Rate Filings 585 650 700 595 650 700 Formal Inves.
