R&D activities and construction plans related to high power proton accelerators are being considered in various countries to promote basic and applied sciences. This includes plans for accelerator-driven nuclear energy systems (ADS) for the transmutation of nuclear waste. The performance of such hybrid nuclear systems depends to a large extent on the specification and reliability of high power accelerators, as well as the integration of the accelerator with spallation targets and subcritical systems. Both accelerator scientists and reactor physicists gathered together at an NEA workshop to dis

Despite Californiażs aggressive response to the 2000-2001 energy crisis & the ongoing work of regulators to reach policy consensus, there is still a meaningful risk that future power supplies will come up short. One of the key drivers of this risk is a highly uncertain investment climate. In addition, the Stateżs power policy still has significant flaws that will challenge long-term reliability & will contribute to continued high retail electricity costs for consumers. This paper highlights the risks of a near- to medium-power-supply shortage & sets forth options policy makers have for allev

Includes abstracts of the Phase I awards made in FY 1995 under the DOE SBIR program. Covers: novel materials for sustainable energy development, high temperature superconductivity for energy applications, technology and instrumentation for high energy accelerators, natural gas supply, advanced coal-based power systems, hybrid electric vehicle technology, and much more. The work described is novel, high-risk research, but the benefits will also be potentially high if the objectives are met. Brief comments on the potential applications are provided.

From its roots in 17th-century Britain to its modern incarnation in Enron and WorldCom, the modern corporation restless, autonomous, and self-perpetuating has gained potency. Designed to seek profit and power, the corporation has pursued both objectives with endless tenacity, steadily bending the framework of the law and incurring destruction in its path. Where did the corporation come from? How did it get so much power? What is its ultimate trajectory? Considering the importance of such questions, it is surprisingly difficult to find answers. Using cutting-edge research from academic h

Coproduction of power, fuels & chemicals offers an innovative, economically advantageous means of achieving the nationżs energy goals. Coproduction involves the integration of 3 major building blocks: Gasification of coal or other hydrocarbon fuels to produce synthesis gas (syngas); Conversion of a portion of the syngas to high-value products such as liquid fuels & chemicals; & Combustion of syngas to produce electric power. Contents: Description of Gasification & Power Generation Technology; Syngas Conversion Processes; Industrial Applications of Gasification; Market Potential for Coproducti

The emergence of China begs a fresh look at power in world affairs -- more precisely, at how the spread of freedom & the integration of the global economy, due to the information revolution, are affecting the nature, concentration, & purpose of power. Chapters: freedom, power, & the rise of China; globalization & power politics; knowledge & freedom; knowledge & national power; powers as partners; & coda on U.S. policy. Concludes that the U.S. need not fear a cold war with China. China's own priorities -- economic growth & stability -- propel it toward legitimacy that can only come through refo
