Safe operation of nuclear power plants is a prime goal of the nuclear power generation industry, as well as the federal government. Toward that end, the U.S. Dept. of Energy is working with its laboratories and the utility industry in its Nuclear Energy Plant Optimization (NEPO) Program.

The days of material, product and process development using trial-and-error experimentation are waning rapidly. Empirically based trial-and-error development cycles typically require a long time to complete, and the complexity and large number of variables of most engineering problems makes it difficult if not impossible to reach an optimal solution.

An uncertainty statement must be submitted with most calibrations including hardness when working to ISO Guide 17025. Are you prepared to provide this information?

The National Commission on the High School Senior Year calls for increased alignment between all levels of education and higher achievement through college-preparatory study-stronger links between high school curriculum and what students are expected to know in college.

Sandia developed a system described as a digital content management solution to preserve its institutional knowledge because it cannot afford to lose such knowledge when people retire.

Coal is number one when it comes to the U.S. power-generation industry-more than 50% of electricity produced in the U.S. is generated by coal-fired power plants. This is good news except that the contribution of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to global warming has the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continually increasing restrictions on emissions from power plants.

ULSAB-AVC is the most recent addition to the global steel industry's initiatives offering steel solutions to the challenges facing automakers around the world.

A lot of factors go into making a decision of where to start up, expand or move a business, some of which just don't match up to a particular location, but every state is looking to build its economic base.

A "Robotics and Intelligent Machines for the U.S. DOE" Roadmap was created in 1998 to identify RIM (robotics and intelligent machines) goals and the research needed to achieve those goals by the year 2020.

The inaugural issue of Plant Profiles published by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) features "forward-thinking companies" which have cuts costs, increased productivity, and improved their overall competitiveness by applying energy-and process-efficient technologies.
