Company Profile:
A nuclear reactor that uses water as the primary coolant and moderator, with slightly enriched uranium as fuel.
Industry:Energy
The resources in the inferred reliability category that meet the same criteria of bed thickness and depth from surface as the demonstrated reserve base.
Industry:Energy
In coal preparation, this material called mid-coal is neither clean nor refuse; due to their intermediate specific gravity, middlings sink only partway in the washing vessels and are removed by auxiliary means.
Industry:Energy
Vehicles weighing less than 8,500 lbs (include automobiles, motorcycles, and light trucks).
Industry:Energy
Coal in unexplored extensions of demonstrated resources for which estimates of the quality and size are based on geologic evidence and projection. Quantitative estimates are based largely on broad knowledge of the geologic character of the bed or region and where few measurements of bed thickness are available. The estimates are based primarily on an assumed continuation from demonstrated coal for which there is geologic evidence. The points of observation are 1-1/2 to 6 miles apart. Inferred coal is projected to extend as a 2-1/4-mile wide belt that lies more than 3/4 mile from the outcrop, points of observation, or measurement.
Industry:Energy
Gasoline having an antiknock index, i.e., octane rating, greater than or equal to 88 and less than orequal to 90. Note: Octane requirements may vary by altitude.
Industry:Energy
A building feature or practise designed to reduce the amount of energy consumed by the lighting system.
Industry:Energy
Average enrichment for a fresh fuel assembly as specified and ordered in fuel cycle planning. This average should include axial blankets and axially and radially zoned enrichments.
Industry:Energy
A measure of vehicle fuel efficiency. Miles per gallon or MPG represents "Fleet Miles per Gallon. "For each subgroup or "table cell," MPG is computed as the ratio of the total number of miles travelled by all vehicles in the subgroup to the total number of gallons consumed. MPGs are assigned to each vehicle using the EPA certification files and adjusted for on-road driving.
Industry:Energy
ADSM programme designed to promote efficient lighting systems in new construction or existing facilities. Lighting DSM programmes can include: certain types of high-efficiency fluorescent fixtures including T-8 lamp technology, solid state electronic ballasts, specular reflectors, compact fluorescent fixtures, LED and electro-luminescent Emergency Exist Signs, High Pressure Sodium with switchable ballasts, Compact Metal Halide, occupancy sensors, and daylighting controllers.
